It seems the concensus is that Microsoft is the clear winner in this deal! The terms of the deal involves Yahoo! search being powered by it’s competitor, Bing, while sharing the search revenue of Yahoo. That does sound awesome for Microsoft, but when I think of the deal in a wide-eyed view it may work in Yahoo favor.

Like hundreds of other people, I anticipated that Google would eventually come out with their own operating system to compete with Microsoft OS. Google finally officially announced Google Chrome OS.
