Microsoft, Yahoo, and Google

So this morning, Yahoo shares are getting a little major boost from the reports of a possible buy out from Microsoft. Microsoft certainly needs this. If Google gets a chance to buy Yahoo, it would put a deep moat around Microsoft search capabilities. I think it would be good for MSFT, but I don't think they will edge out Google for the lead anytime soon. I think MSFT is fighting to stay in the search game, not to win.

But on to more important matters... what would they call the new product? Would they keep the Yahoo name because it is so well known, or would they stamp the MSFT branding and drip their Kool-Aid on it and doom it to late releases, bugs and mandatory updates? Either way, I thought it would be fun to think of what they might call it.
