The Register® — Biting the hand that feeds IT

Microhoo! or YahSoft!? The! people! must! decide!

Just put your exclamation mark in the box

Reader poll The "will they, won't they?" Microsoft-Yahoo! cliffhanger has had the IT world on tenterhooks for a couple of weeks now, and planet Earth has temporarily stopped spinning on its axis in anticipation of the outcome of the marriage proposal from Redmond to the company! which! saved! the! exclamation! mark! from! extinction!

Of course, hacks across the globe have been having a field day imagining what the bastard offspring of such an unholy union might be called, with competing neologisms vying for favour.

Well, the powers that be here at Vulture Central have decided that there can only be one name to rule them all, and have accordingly edicted a reader poll to determine which it shall be.

So, it's over to you then:

Mahoo!
Microhoo!
Microshoo!
Mihoo!
MiYahoo!
YahSoft!
YaMicrohoosoft!
