We got a press release from Yahoo saying that Yahoo! and Microsoft are going to share search/advertizing. In fact only the first paragraph seems of any interest, the rest of the press release is mostly marketting bullshit.
Yahoo! and Microsoft announced an agreement that will improve the Web search experience for users and advertisers, and deliver sustained innovation to the industry. In simple terms, Microsoft will now power Yahoo! search while Yahoo! will become the exclusive worldwide relationship sales force for both companies’ premium search advertisers.
This sounds rather awful, and reply from Rasmus was quick.
Of course I immediatly tried to confirm this on IRC…

So now, we’ll see how it evolves, but I guess this press conference will change a lot of things, including in PHP’s world.
