Google Attacks Microsoft/Yahoo Deal

This is a bit pathetic. Google is complaining about the potential merger between Yahoo and Microsoft.
At Google’s blog, the company’s lawyer asks, “Could Microsoft now attempt to exert the same sort of inappropriate and illegal influence over the Internet that it did with the PC?”
That question makes little sense. He’s implying a relationship between the deal and Microsoft’s future attempts at breaking the law. By that logic, how do we know that this deal won’t lead to Microsoft selling crack? If Microsoft wants to overpay for Yahoo, that’s their business.
