"Even today, MS is perfectly free to make deals with competitors without worrying about antitrust scrutiny (and, in fact, deals were a part of the settlement between MS and Apple over certain antitrust matters)"

False, Microsoft can't take a figurative piss without someone saying they are fucking everyone else over.

Google and Yahoo make up around like 90% of the search business, if they join, how the hell would that not be monopolistic?

They're not joining. They have a non-exclusive deal for search advertising purposes.

Don't worry -- they can't compete with MS. MS said, after all, that Google is just a house of cards and that they were going to make windows live search competitive. *snicker*

How on earth does a massive multi-billion dollar company that appears to be heading towards a monopoly get so much love from people? People still treat Google as if it is the underdog despite the fact that its one of the largest companies around.

It confuses me too, but I still lke Google. There is just something likeable about them unlike Microsoft/Yahoo.
