Microsoft bid $44.6 billion for Yahoo last Friday. The bid still needs approval by Yahoo and regulators. The proposed merger brims with potential. Yahoo would bring legions of loyal users of its Internet e-mail, chat, search, news, shopping and dating services. Microsoft would contribute engineering prowess and its deep presence in home PC's and corporate servers. By joining forces, the companies could reach 86% of US Internet users and control 59% of the online display ad market.

Net Income: Yahoo $751 million, Microsoft $14.1 billion.
Employees: Yahoo 14300, Microsoft 79000.
Market Capitalization: Yahoo $38 billion, Microsoft $283 billion.
