Yahoo still in the picture
It still surprise me to see Yahoo so high in the rankings. One should believe that Google should be number 1 by far. Yahoo is so 90's. Even the less bandwith concerned people (read rest of the world) must apreciate Googles clean sheet with accurate search results.
The future lies with Google. Maybe that may also will become a problem like we have with MS.

I think most of Yahoo's traffic is probably generated from email, chat, messenger etc. rather than search.

just as a curveball:
Former CIA clandestine case officer Robert Steele has stated that Google is "in bed with" the CIA, as his contacts within the CIA confirm.
http://www.disgrunt.com/2006/10/27/former-intelligence-agent-says-google-in-bed-with-cia/
“I think that Google has made a very important strategic mistake in dealing with the secret elements of the U.S. government - that is a huge mistake and I’m hoping they’ll work their way out of it and basically cut that relationship off,” said the ex-CIA man.
“Google was a little hypocritical when they were refusing to honor a Department of Justice request for information because they were heavily in bed with the Central Intelligence Agency, the office of research and development,” said Steele.
The CIA has admitted initiatitves to control media in the past -- is this just the next logical step? And could this be connected to Google's interest in its political truth detector?
This comes shortly on the heels of Google resetting the views to the Alex Jones movie Terrorstorm, which focuses on the history of terrorism sponsored by intelligence agencies.

"We regularly highlight Google's damaging role in aiding the march towards a big brother society, but the admission that Google were planning on teaming up with the U.S. government to use microphones in the computers of an estimated 150 million-plus Internet active Americans to spy on their lifestyle choices and build psychological profiles which will be used for surveillance and minority report style invasive advertising and data mining, astounded even us."

@LG, like all conspiracy theories, it could be true that there is something formal & sinister going on between the CIA & Google, but I would like to point out that I did not find this conspiracy listed [thread=61808]here[/thread] - perhaps there is a conspiracy afoot to hide the conspiracy that may or may not ever have been a conspiracy to start with...

Yahoo are the mindless spamming shimmering scum of the earth. They were the first to have a widely accessibly internet directory, but I have very little regard for their organisation: they've twice that I know of, (Konfabulator) been careless with takeovers and either allowed contact lists to be compromised, or willfully used/sold it to spammers.............. Grrrrr AND their services are/were not proxy friendly for extended periods of time....
As for MSN, they made an enemy of me when they closed down my hotmail account with logs and records of my world travels, shortly after they bought out hotmail. Also, MSN live "safe" search supposedly is family safe. But try something nasty on it, and keep a bucket handy.
Now, who should you really blame? The companies that have been bought out, or the buyers? Who cares. Neither MSN nor Yahoo are up to their game, lost in a desperate fumble for market share. Do they carry your best interests at heart?
Only one way to answer that question...... what to their founders, directors, CEO's and managers joke about to their closest friends and relatives... What kind of people are they? What drives them? What do they want? And if it truly is something benevolent, why are they so inefficient at accomplishing their goals?
