Microsoft buying Yahoo is like Microsoft(1) buying Microsoft(2). Both companies are huge, with dying net brands, and both are being cut to pieces by Google (and probably soon enough Facebook). I don't see the great synergy, and they definitely not paying that for a great product pipeline. My only guess is they want the search/ad system. That seems to be the only thing that makes Microsoft(2) != Yahoo.
