"The obvious result of a tie-up...
"...would mean a stronger competitor for Google on the search and ads front, but something I never thought about was the combination of MSN/Yahoo! Instant Messenger and Hotmail/Yahoo! Mail. The thought of these services together could be enough to delay the deal."

Or MicroYahoo can do what yahoo did when Flickr was purchased...leave both competing services active for a while, untouched, then force users using one service to move to the other. And with Microsoft pushing MSN and Windows Live down everyone's throats harder than Apple pushes .Mac down it's customer's throats, you can assume that it's the Yahoo pieces that will be folded into MSN or killed off.
