Default Do you support Microsoft acquisition of Yahoo?

Do you guys support Microsoft taking over Yahoo?
For me, it's a mixed bag.
I generally dislike the idea of Microsoft taking over Yahoo and merging Yahoo's services with their services. But I can see potential advantages.

What I dislike:
Microsoft merging its services with those of Yahoo. For example, MSN messenger and Yahoo messenger being essentially the same; email services being identical, Yahoo style eroding and getting taken over by the dull MSN style, etc...
Disadvantages here will be less innovation, no new features, less choice and variety.

What I may like:
With MSN Live and Yahoo search engines merging, one would not only need to optimize his websites for the combined search engine and would easily reap the benefit of a bigger search engine with a larger search volume.
