Google would never sell out to Microsoft, that much I am possitive.
Microsoft wouldn't be allowed to buy up Google. There's that whole monopoly law.
The reason they want yahoo is for the search engine though, they're trying to compete with google. They really should just give up, Google is much more than a search engine.

That's absolutely mental. $44.6 bn, but then again it will give them a good chance against Google.
Yahoo would be crazy not to. I don't want it to happen, but that is a ton of money, more than they might be worth.
I just wish Google Talk+AIM+MSN+Yahoo would get their IM ---- together, have cross platform ability, but let us use whatever client we want. I love gaim...er, Pidgin, but I love GTalk. If GTalk could be my AIM+MSN+YIM, I think I'd use it 100% of the time.
Outside of that, I like them being separate. Competition is good.
