I admit, I am not a huge fan of MS, but at the same time I don't like google either. MS sells itself, whereas google sells you... do remember this thing.
Second, your comment about the xen, well I have been working on Xen for 2 years, and it still is going very strong under Citrix. Please do not create unnecessary FUD. Hating MS and its allies is one thing, but please be realistic and ask the developers/users once making such comments.
Now the merger, it will have no dire impact on open source. I don't mean it will not have any, but the biggest looser (may be/seems to be) will be google not open source. Google is now becoming a cry baby just because this deal will try to monopolize the near google monopoly. Simple, change your home page from google to yahoo takes 30 seconds and if 40% internet users do it, google is history. MS-Yahoo can make it happen (and cannot make it happen right away if you look at their track record)
Frankly, I welcome that deal and want it to happen. It will have better effect on internet users. At least MS/yahoo do not retain our data and never supplied cookies that were supposed to expire in 2038. In EU google admitted its terms and use statements are vague.
So chill out dudes, welcome the competition which will make the world easier for us at the end.
