I see this as Microsoft's attempt to get more Silicon Valley talent and real estate. I doubt they would give up either campus if they acquire LinkedIn and Yahoo! I'm sure they have many additional projects for our local talent.

Verizon is pretty far down the lane in their effort to acquire Yahoo's web assets. Not sure what part of Yahoo Microsoft would want but Verizon Digital is looking to get more into Google's space.
