Today's news:

Putting aside any personal feelings about either company and their shoddy products, is this a sound idea? How will Yahoo change, and is it worth more than double the current share value to Microsoft? And how might this effect Google?

I've made this mention elsewhere,but I think it can be cost effective.
Two advantages for M$FT/Yahoo
1.. It quadruples the number of hits on it's new,combined, search engine instantly. M$St =7%.YHOO =21% total 28%. GOOG still has 66%.
2.. They consolidate their two separate huge server farms. Combining 2 huge farms, M$FT can now reduce the number of machines. A very cost effective move.

And I'll add combining the two financial networks can't be bad either.
