Yahoo Japan and Google will partner up in their search engines. It seems that Yahoo Japan does not being controlled by the main Yahoo. Since that is the case Yahoo Japan could decide for themselve who to partner with. Yahoo Japan will adopt Google's search engine and search linkd advertistment distribution system. As Yahoo Japan and Google plan to separately provide their respective Internet search services, this seems to work in their favour with those antimonopoly law. Even though Yahoo Japan is kind of seperate from Yahoo, their right to use the Yahoo name gives user the impression that they are the same company. Even I think so too, until I read the news of Yahoo Japan Google tie up. MS will definitely not sit still. But it takes more then tie up and brand names to make users switch engines. MS better know what users want to gain.
