Microsoft Bids for Yahoo – Google’s Reaction(s)

So this is not new news, but Microsoft has put in a bid to buy Yahoo. The combined company would not, in my opinion, be able to overtake Google as the most powerful search property, but it would be nice to have another player a bit closer to Google’s size/power.

Google doesn’t seem to be too keen on the idea based on these articles:

Google says merger poses antitrust issues
Google finds Microsoft’s Yahoo bid ‘troubling’
Google: Microsoft buying Yahoo is bad for the Internet
Google offers to help Yahoo fight off Microsoft

And it looks like Yahoo may be keen on Google’s way of thinking:

Yahoo may consider Google alliance
