    Once this happens, I am looking forward to being able to upload screenshots of my code to flickr directly from Visual Studio.

    I know they are planning to allow MSN users and Yahoo users to interact on either of the messenger products. As to whether they would merge, I'm not sure why M$ would want to.

    They are honoring Google as they pull their big fat wallet out to buy themselves the 2nd place.

    Well, I'm pretty sure you can already use Yahoo email addresses in MSN Messenger... so it only makes sense...

    Why doesn't anyone copy Google's simplicity? A few text links on top of a search bar and a button.

    Re: Is MS buying Yahoo?

    Yahoo and MSN ID's have been inter-changeable for a few months already.

    I have MSN ppl in my Yahoo Messenger. Weird thing is - it even works.

    Not sure why they decided to co-operate.
    Rate my response if I helped

    Microsoft did copy Googles simplicity, they were criticised for it in a PC Pro Magazine months ago. Note how Live Search looks similar to Google

    I'm glad they copied google instead of yahoo. Yahoo is the prime example of how a website should not look.


    Oh wait! They copied yahoo a long time ago. www.msn.com anyone?
