To make things clear: Google and Yahoo are *** advertising networks ***. 
This what they do for a living: sell advertising space and other marketing 
services. What they offer - search engines, image banks, email services, 
office apps etc. is just a sideshow, or to use marketroid speach, assets to 
be leveraged, that only exist to bring ads to your desktop.

Say what you want about Microsoft, it's still primarily a software company 
that creates and sells IT products. Google and Yahoo only exist to make you 
buy noodles, porn and garden tools. Of course, MS would like a piece of that 
cake too, but think twice about saying that "Google is the best thing on the 
internet".
