Microsoft looking to buy E-Bay
 
Apparently in order to step up the war with Google Microsoft is looking at buying E-Bay. Potential anti-trade issues have slowed them down for now, but they are still interested. Apparently Bill considered looking at merging Microsoft with Yahoo! but decided he did not like what Yahoo! had to offer. I think a merged company named Microsoo! would be great.

Haha. I forgot E-Bay owned paypal too. I do a lot of business through Paypal. I am by no means a Microsoft paranoid, but I don't know if I want them in control of my money. :)

ooer. I forgot that too, Triumph. That's a pretty terrifying thought...

Oh dear, I wouldn't be very happy if they took over paypal as well. There's just something about MS, and well I am MS paranoid ;)

they already are in control of our money... every couple years we have to give them a couple hundred for a new OS...

It seems like Microsoft is just trying to control everything, not sure if this would be a good thing or not.

Well with Google releasing a bazillion new service every micro-seconds, Microsoft is just trying to keep their "lead."

Someone is scared ;)
