Passage C

News (March 6, 2008) that Microsoft was $44.6 billion bid to buy Yahoo was greeted with heated discussion by many Internet users on Friday. Here are some responses:

Mark Galeassi of Kansas City, Missouri: This is the best move for both parties. Yahoo has the ideas and Microsoft has the money to finally market these ideas correctly. Microsoft and Yahoo are a perfect fit and the deal will be good for consumers. Scott G. of New Jersey: I was a Yahoo user for years along with Hotmail from Microsoft. Then Google came along. Google Earth, Google Toolbar and Gmail. Google is so innovative(立异的)with everything they do. Yahoo and Microsof, the same old story. I don't think the merger will do anything for either company except improve the Yahoo shareholders' bank accounts.

Michael Glosser of Estero, Florida: Right now, Yahoo offers a lot of features and tools at no cost for all different levels of Internet users. Microsoft seeks nothing but profit. Undoubtedly, they'll do nothing other than find ways to start removing Yahoo's formerly non-priced features. Microsoft's greed will ruin the great thing that Yahoo currently is. Toni Suarez of Hacienda Heights California: Perhaps it would bring better high technology innovations to e-mail and help in researching and developing a better Internet! Antonio Simmons of Parkville, Maryland: Microsoft purchasing Yahoo would be nothing more than an attempt from Microsoft to further impose upon the users their poor-quality software and obtain more wealth for the company. In my opinion, they will never be able to compete with Google because Yahoo and Microsoft's current search engines are too inferior to compete. Even if combined, they still lack.
