It is essentially impossible for me to conceive of Microsoft pulling Yahoo out of hadoop.
Microsoft is blind. Yahoo is somewhat less blind, at least as it relates to the internet. Part of what Microsoft has stated is that they want the engineers from yahoo. How much sense would it make to suggest that you want all the engineers, but you want them to abandon everything they have done and start again on IIS. I dont think so. I believe Hadoop, at least in this regard, is *totally* safe. Hank ----------------------------------------- whydoeseverythingsuck.com
