[dba-Tech] MS to buy Yahoo

I am not real happy about hearing this.  I mainly use my yahoo accounts because they work, look good and don't get the amount of spam my other accounts do.  MS messes up most of what they touch.  I haven't gotten into gmail but think I will after hearing this. The windows live looks ok but I haven't used it much.
 
My roadrunner mail was my main mail for many years but when they hooked up with aol about 6 years ago the garbage and spam went off the wall.  I wrote to them several times and got no response. 
So then I went to free hotmail because I could bring it into outlook and outlook express. New people can not unless they pay a fee. No way was I going to pay for hotmail while still having to pay roadrunner.  Then they would not let new people do The Spam on Hotmail got too much.  A  friend told me about yahoo and I liked it. Even though I can't bring it into outlook I don't care.  For the last 4 years I have used the Yahoo as my main account.
