I guess you theory makes more sense than anything else. By itself,
the MS/Yahoo tie-up makes little sense given all of the integration problems, completely different cultures, product overlap, and very big, the difference in OSes.

So, I suppose blocking an Amazon-Yahoo tie-up makes sense, since that tie-up would have probably forever relegated MS to a distant third online. Given that almost everything will be delivered as on online service with offline capabilities in the future, MS just could not stand to see that happen.
