They won't want to admit that they are running Unix, and re-writing whatever Yahoo has done for Windows Server is more trouble than it is worth, not to mention the likelyhood of massive staff bailout while that process is underway. More likely some domain name jiggering will re-direct whatever Yahoo used to do (depending on what they buy) to Microsoft's equivalent where users will be encouraged to download an MS update to re-brand everything on a formerly Yahoo users desktop. What kind of user experience will this likely provide for those purchased eyeballs? I doubt anyone involved in the transition will much care about that.
