Mixed Reaction on Microsoft's Yahoo Take Over

Microsoft's $44.6 billion leap to buy Yahoo has triggered mixed reactions from active internet users and those who follow the online industry closely. While on one hand a group of readers and enthusiasts have a strong feeling that Microsoft is attempting to clamp down the competition by monopolising the online industry, on the other hand a second group of people opine that Microsoft and Yahoo are perfect fit for each other and the end consumer would be benefited if this marriage happens.

Predictions are strong that this would also compel Google to wake up and take notice of the competition. This, in other words, would mean that Google would be forced to better its services and provide more user friendly Internet tools and expand the existing ones, in order to stay ahead of the competition, the position that it enjoys at present.
