I have yet to find anyone amongst the commentariat and the chattering classes who thinks so. If you have, drop a link in the comments section below and enlighten us all.
So far, the sheer mass of opinion, both informed and uninformed is that this is a bad move. The more I ponder it, the more it looks like Microsoft is trying to fight the last war (for search and ad supremacy), instead of working on something new, hot, and game changing.
As I said elsewhere, the Microsoft/Yahoo! deal was basically a great opportunity for those individual and institutional bargain hunters who snarfed up YHOO stock on the cheap when it was getting drubbed two weeks ago. That's great and all (and bully for you if you did it), but it's no sign of long term growth or strategic value.
