I know I watch my parents, if the buttons moved to place other than they are used to in Microsoft word, then they get confused. Microsoft does have an opportunity to integrate more fully into the web, and thus make convenience an entrance barrier for their future business activities. However, partnering with Yahoo can bring many capabilities to the business namely the web programming capabilities of yahoo and the increase in speed might be needed. However, the biggest problem I see it the company culture differences which might impeded development of technologies internally.
