Yahoo and Microsoft: A deal made in heaven or hell?

It appears that the on-again, off-again merger talks between Yahoo and Microsoft have cooled once again, but they’re not officially dead. And Google’s acquisition of YouTube for $1.65 billion and pending acquisition of Doubleclick for $3.1 billion certainly make a deal between the #2 and #3 search engines more likely today than six months ago. But do Yahoo and Microsoft really need each other?
