Microsoft weds Yahoo! ?

The internet war is just getting hotter.

Microsoft has announced an unsolicited offer of $44.6 billion for Yahoo! Inc to challenge the authority of Google in the business.

If this deal goes through, this will be the biggest ever technology takeover in corporate world.

If combined together, Microsoft-Yahoo! will have market share of 31% of the web queries of the US market in December.

This will make serious problems for Google. It’s dominance in the internet search could be under threat.

Will this deal make any difference to an average user? Difficult to answer at this stage.

It will be hard for even the combined entity to compete with Google, because they are well ahead of others in Internet business.

Anyways, the whole story will be exciting to watch in the coming days.
