Microsoft and Yahoo Reach Deal 301
e9th writes "We know that Microsoft failed last February in its attempt to buy Yahoo. Now, Advertising Age reports that they've reached a deal. Instead of a buyout, the two will enter into a revenue sharing agreement, and Bing will become Yahoo's default search engine. The meat of the AdAge article can be found in Yahoo News. This deal may give Google something to worry about."

And how does changing the underlying search engine affect your yahoo account?
He already answered that. Changing the underlying search engine to Bng leads to him cancelling his yahoo account.
