It's said that due to the poor stock share of Yahoo!, it's likely to be purchased by Microsoft. Is that true? I know that Yahoo China has already been sold to Alibaba.com.

What a surprise if Yahoo! is purchased by Microsoft!

It might be a good acquisition for Microsoft, but it has to be approved by the US government. ...and the anti-trust people will be all over this...

Microsoft home page and Yahoo home page are so drastically different that I think this would be a bad move. For one thing, Yahoo Games offfers free tournaments, ladders, and icons for free. MSN.Com always directs you to webpages that are asking for your credit card and personal ID. In terms of freedom and expression, Yahoo! is unmatched by any other American URL. Maybe that's why Yahoo! stock isn't doing so well. In any case, I would like to see Yahoo! remain independent and accessible to all for the sake of "free enterprise" and self expression.

So, to rebuke LIONPOWER...you are wrong! Although you consider yourself a "low level user", I am able to employ Yahoo! Instant Messenger to telephone the U.S.A. for around 1 penny/minute and the Yahoo! Games are unmatched in competition and variety.

Long live Yahoo! 10 years and still going!
