I don't see any monopoly investigation out of this. After all, MS already was the target of the biggest monopoly investigation in history and they lost (well, there was a settlement). If the government allows MS to be as big a monopoly as it already is, buying Yahoo shouldn't change it that much.
MS buying Apple would be more of a concern monopoly-wise.

Internet-based companies like Google also will be hard to corner on a monopoly too. The internet is free range and since there's not real costs involved - usually the best guy wins. Technically online there is no one to sqeeze out of business and the next big thing is just waiting to be created.
It's an interesting idea of how the internet has changed the monopoly concept as we know it.
