In the unlikely event that M$ succeeds in purchasing Yahoo, here are my suggestions to Google as a response:

• Buy Sun out.  Sun bought Mysql out and practically are a great hardware distributor.  Spin Sun's hardware business off as an independent company, and as a primary distributor to Google.  Take over all patents for Java and release them as pure Open Source.  Re-do the whole N-1 grid programming project and combine Google's OS with Sun's Unix in creating a distributed, grid programming platform, completely supported by Google.  Cater to start ups and midsized companies by eliminating the need for DBAs, system administrators and production support groups by providing round the clock service for all areas of support.  Kill Sun's SunOne Identity management system in favor of OpenID as a de facto standard for the industry's constant id management system crisis.
• Merge or partner in a closer relation to Apple.  Force Apple to lower the cost of desktop systems, get rid of Safari, and only provide Firefox as the true browser of choice.
• Buy Facebook already.  Orkut is useless so get rid of it. Also, OpenSocial sucks because it's too limited.  Give that kid his money already and put someone with experience in charge.
• Buy the Mozilla corporation out.  Come on.  We know you want them.
• Create a new business for web businesses.  A complete investment model.  Think of it as building a new town.  You have the land, the wood, the construction trucks.  But you have no dependent businesses to make the town a city.  To initially attract the people to your city, you give them what you need.  In return, your citizens pay tax to help the city to prosper.

This is my vision for Google.  Want to hire me as a strategist yet?????
