The smartest move M$ made latly is is buying a company in Virtualization tech. (To most likely compete) with the high end VMWARE ESX solution.
I don't see Yahoo as a real strategic move, as MSN is alot more popular, though ofcourse this will help the M$ imperium.
With the Server 2008 infront of the door and VT already integrated.
I think M$ wil keep groing and groing
Sooner or later Time will tell.

They WERE powered by Google. But they bought out Inktomi which owned other search engines like the AltaVista search engine. But they didn't feature any of those engines on their own website. Now, they used Inktomi's search engines and Google's search engine as a starter for "Yahoo! Slurp" ^,^

If Yahoo is having problems as much as they say they are...then Microsoft can probably help fix them. They are probably one of the only company's who can invest billions to turn them around.
