Microsoft-Yahoo Might Also Be About Mail

Category Messaging And Collaboration
The Wall Street Journal has an article, Google Offers to Help Yahoo Fight Bid, in which Google representatives identify a Microsoft-Yahoo union as possessing a formidable mail platform:

Google identified instant messaging and Web email accounts as areas where a Microsoft-Yahoo combination would have "an overwhelming" market share. In the blog post, Google also questioned whether Microsoft could use its "PC software monopoly to unfairly limit the ability of consumers to freely access competitors' email, [instant messaging] and Web-based services."


Interesting.

So the answer is nothing will change from MS, but it's the online mail which bothers me.
