After the acquisition: Microsoft the Web2.0 – Software as service – Giant
If Microsoft succeeds with their bid for Yahoo the landscape will definitely change. Just consider the huge amount of social traffic Yahoo offers.

We are just a step away from Microsoft flickr integrated with your operating system, add your personal social bookmark manager Microsoft del.icio.us integrated with your IE bookmarks and Facebook integrated into your outlook contacts.
Interesting times…. looks like Google is the good guy again.
