Who else? Hmm. Maybe IBM. They’d be perfectly positioned to upsell ‘enterprise’ versions of many of the Web 2.0 successes that Yahoo has acquired, like Flickr and del.icio.us, would continue the Open Source funding/investments, and there could be some serious cross-fertilization on the infrastructure front.

I cited 19 major ones in http://www.texttechnologies.com/2008/02/03/microsoft-yahoo-synergies/, — only 8 of which were in search. And the number is that low only because I got tired.

“Hostile bid?” Last time I checked Roget’s thesaurus, “unsolicited” didn’t appear in a list of synonyms for “hostile.”
