“As far as Microsoft is concerned though, turning Yahoo
into a Bing zombie is actually pretty smart. Instead of buying
Yahoo, as was last year’s plan, Microsoft makes it appear as if
Yahoo is still an independent company. Thus, the Yahoo corpse will
continue to stagger on. By disguising Microsoft’s search and ads
underneath its rotting exterior, Microsoft will gain search users
and ad sales that would never consider switching to Bing or
adCenter.“Still, zombies have this bad habit of falling apart as the
story continues.”
