Agreed, but there is no guarantee that once they merge the market shares will merge as well. In fact, in light of peoples avariance to MS (shown through only 10% share) I would say they would be lucky to come out with 15% share once all the dust has settled.

Well, thats the big question for me too. Will they try something new & keep driving the search market forward or will the search market stagnate as there aren't enough competitors?
