The timing was just perfect. M$ has talked about being committed to search and internet advertising as their #1 priority for a couple of years. Yahoo! has a dip, and I guess that's what sealed the deal. I agree on your obsevations. And it's not only about prefering to be open. It's the one way to go. If M$ becomes the closed Internet company they will loose the game. Period. I think it was inevitable. The timing was just perfect.
