Microsoft launched a campaign today to enlist supporters in its opposition to a new advertising collaboration deal between Google and Yahoo, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
With the Google-DoubleClick merger wrapped up, Yahoo may face even greater pressure to find itself a buyout partner, according to Wall Street analysts and investors.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has begun an inquiry into the planned sale of DoubleClick to Google for US$3.1 billion, according to reports.
Google's planned acquisiton of DoubleClick has led to US government antitrust committees and liberal consumer groups watching the search giant's moves, just like they did Microsoft's not too long ago.
It's official: Microsoft is deploying lobbyists to oppose Google's proposed purchase of DoubleClick, which it claims raise "serious competitive issues" in the online-ad space.
If the Internet is God, and the browser my shepherd, I am a lost lamb who has been waiting for the Prophet to answer my call: What are those icon-less buttons at the bottom of Internet Explorer 7?
A DoubleClick executive landed in hot soup recently after suggesting browser makers should toe the line when it came to online advertising.

Microsoft's Hyper-V is a solid virtualisation platform that's compatible with a wide range of modern server hardware.
Windows Server 2008 is easier to install and manage than previous versions, and has many new and improved features that should encourage organisations to upgrade.
If you need to make sleeker-looking documents and presentations, Microsoft Office Standard 2007 is a worthy upgrade. But stick to your current software if you don't feel that it lacks anything.
Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 makes prettier presentations, so an upgrade may be in order if your work is particularly image-focused and you don't mind relearning the application. If PowerPoint 2003 serves you well, however, it offers most of the same features, albeit with flatter-looking graphics.
