associate director of the technology team at Morningstar. I'm here today with Larry Witt to talk about the Microsoft-Yahoo search partnership that was announced this morning. From Microsoft's perspective, we believe it's a pretty good deal. It's a much better deal than Microsoft buying all of Yahoo, and it helps Microsoft gain scale in search and search advertising. It represents likely the company's best and last hope in trying to make a dent in Google's dominance. For Yahoo, though, this is a much more material deal. Larry, can you talk about some of the benefits of this deal for Yahoo? Larry Witt : Sure, absolutely. For Yahoo, it's going to allow the company to scale back on its operating expenses. They no longer havea significant increase at this point. Tran : Thank you very much, Larry . Witt : Thank you. Tran : I'm Toan Tran, thank you for watching. -
