David, one thing I'd like to add about the employees staying/leaving is that while some employees may not be enthusiastic about the deal (see Wired's Epicenter writeup) Ballmer & Co. have anticipated this, and are prepared to "offer significant retention packages to [Yahoo's] engineers, key leaders and employees across all disciplines," according to Ballmer's original offer letter.
