Anatomy of a Fine Rumor: A Microsoft Yahoo / Facebook Two-Step Aimed at Google

I would advise you to check out Microsoft Surface, its a technology on the horizon. Microsoft's end game is a complex dynamic of Yahoo's services, their os technologies (Surface, server, xp, vista etc), and their own core application suites... throw in an exchange server and add a dab of a search core and your able to integrate your entire digital life inside microsoft technology.

Hypothetical: Your at a friends house and their kitchen table is a MS surface display. You throw down your digital camera and out pops all your pictures... you drag and drop them into a newly created facebook photo gallery. You then pop on to MS messanger and tell your friends to go check it out, they go and get on. You continue talking and then you decide your bored as your checking emails and talking and decide to load up one of yahoo's checker games. The game results are instantly loaded onto each others facebook profile wall and everyone can see you beat timmy 5-1 in the last 6 games. Furthermore as your writing on your girlfriends facebook wall, her smartphone's (running WM of course) automatically picks up the facebook wall post and displays it as a new facebook event.

This is just a simple hypothetical, the possibilities are endless
