Microsoft Last month or so Made a big offer to yahoo wanting to buy it out to compete with Google. Who do you think will come out ontop of this one? Very hard to say in my opinion.

Doesnt matter who buys it in the end, you just know that a new SE will appear in the next few years to take over google completely

Well Microsoft is looking to get ahead of the business by acquiring Yahoo, but indeed they have not succeeded. Without the plan materialize, they are far far behind compared to google in the Search engine business.

Microsoft does lack in the SE business but then its their own fault of drawback that they always neglected their SE and never took pains to put in efforts to make it more and more better Thats why basically i think they suffered.

They do have a very good and descent SE. If they had taken a bit pain to look more deeply into it and work on it to make it better and better then they never would have been fallen back.

If you look at the history of Microsoft, you will notice that Microsoft has never had a coherent internet strategy. When Gates woke up, he rammed IE through his wide PC network and now most of pc-users are stuck with it.

They should have develop and work on to improve MSN rather than buying. Of course it looks like a move of desperation or either way they have too much cash to spend on something.

The limitation of Bill Gates' vision with regards to internet is a lesson that a corporation fate should not depend on the personality of a particular person.

Strategically speaking when they acquire Yahoo, they also eliminate a competitor. So in business point of view, that is viable. They should have concentrate their effort to develop it when Google was a small player at that time.

I remember back in the day netscape used to tower over IE lol (going back some time now). Just think one day when these two giants face a new threat they might end up as MicroGoogle

Google is the thing that everyone uses.
I don't know anyone who uses Yahoo! so for me, I'm placing my money on Google.

The nightmare facing Microsoft is stark : the pc market may one day be obsolete but the internet is the technology for the future. If the internet becomes the pc and a pc is no longer necessary, Microsoft is dead.
