i can understand her optimism, but how are they going to take market share away from google?

according to google finance, google has about 20k employees bringing in 5.7B each quarter, and yahoo has about 14k employees bringing in 1.8B/quarter.

i think the yahoo plan is to get microsoft to buy the search platform and then make a advertising deal with google. this will not only get yahoo more money than they are worth now, but it will also make regulatory agencies happy.
