Microhoo: Tech Megamergers Rarely Work Well

Those who promote this merger do it with fizzy generalities. The truth is these companies have virtually no chance of working together successfully. If I were Ballmer, there's no way I would ever even think of contemplating doing such a crazy, cruel destructive act as taking over Yahoo.

I'd like to see antitrust considered. Microsoft and Yahoo overlap in a huge number of businesses and there's no question this is a highly anticompetitive move.

I'm normally very much against antitrust enforcement, but desperate times call for desperate measures :-(.
