I don’t know about Google, but both Microsoft and Yahoo are very excited to make this deal! Microsoft will empower Yahoo’s search as it couldn’t buy Yahoo’s search engine. Although this was originally the intention of Microsoft, the deal didn’t turn out to be a buy-and-sell deal. It’s about a 10-year contract to grant Microsoft an exclusive license to Yahoo’s core search technologies.
Search Market: Google (64%), Microsoft + Yahoo (26%)
