Podcast: Microsoft and Yahoo VPs explain the deal
A couple of hours after the companies announced their long awaited partnership, CNET's Larry Magid speaks with Microsoft's Yusuf Mehdi and Yahoo's Hilary Schneider. Here's the entire interview.

For Microsoft, according to the company's Senior VP Yusuf Mehdi, the deal "created a lot of value in terms of cost savings and increased revenue opportunities. This creates a lot of new value for each of us," he said in the joint interview.
