Warner Carter's comment about the three headed calf really rings true - what will the offspring look like? Just look at the difference between IE and Firefox... It seems that Microsoft's culture might create a very BIG Web 1.0 system versus a real Web 2.0 oriented system. Even Google is bordering on the same outcome in many respects - but they do a lot of things right. How many years will it take to 'debug' this new creation? Not unlike Vista versus XP. By then it may well not be competitive - or at least cutting edge - because Web 2.0 is moving so fast. Maybe Microsoft should buy a cutting edge Web 2.0 company and leave it alone and let it grow. That company would not be Yahoo, yet that merger seems inevitable. Maybe some of these guys are headed to the Web 1.0 Behemoth bone yard Weird dilemma - thought provoking post.

Weird dilemma – thought provoking post.

Google is at time where it REALLY needs to see more targeted and powerful competition. Yahoo ads are STILL in beta!
