Stock prices and investors aside, does anyone see any benefit from a YHOO/MSFT merger/acquisition?

Would you rather have 2 main places to search for information or 3/4 depending on what is considered "main".

MSFT doesn't seem to be going anywhere with search, Yahoo! isn't rolling out anything new. They've have to either integrate or manage 2 different tech infrastructures and company cultures. How would it possibly work and how would it benefit anyone except maybe someone brokering the transation of getting a pop in the stock price if it were to happen?
