Obviously, big news of the day is the Microsoft/Yahoo search deal. What do people think the impact on SEO affiliates in particular will be?

According to Latitude, this new partnership would only account for 8% of the search market here in the UK, but up to 40% in the US. I wonder what the impact will be on people's current Yahoo traffic and whether having a bigger, unified player up against Google may in fact be beneficial. Thoughts?

Looks like we've got two years to make up our minds anyway!
