Overture to buy Altavista
Overture's press release here ...
http://www.corporate-ir.net/ireye/ir_site.zhtml?ticker=OVER&script=410&layout=0&item_id=383636

Altavista's press release here ...
http://www.altavista.com/about/prelease?yr=2003&dt=021803

(Both texts seem to be the same)

Will this make Overture a better option for PPC?

Gringo.

It's hard to say

Altavista have such a small market share. Will it make them a better option? Most likely! Will it make them a MUCH better option? I don't think so!

It may not improve Altavista, but it should improve Overture. From their press-release ..
Quote:
AltaVista's Web site will allow Overture to test and refine new products and services in a live setting, and its suite of search-related technology patents will help support Overture's entry into algorithmic search


Looks like Altavista will be a bit of a guinea-pig for a while.
