Actually this may happen in the near future. Reports show that Microsoft has bid to buy Yahoo to better compete with Google.
If you have Hotmail (I have a MSN address, but having troubles accessing it, even with a Microsoft browser), a possibility would be that it would be a Yahoo email address. It would make sense...afterall...Yahoo has experienced far less security problems than Hotmail.
Now if Microsoft can do something to make people like me get a XBOX 360 thanks to those reports of users who get about 17 replacement XBOX 360 systems to finally get one that works.
I think Microsoft, besides wanting their own successful search portal, are probably also excited about Yahoo's new social mail concept for 2008. It is an innovative idea.

Yahoo has officially rejected Microsoft's bid, stating that MS's bid undervalues Yahoo. Ever since Microsoft bid for Yahoo, Yahoo's stock went up and Microsoft's stock went down.
