Jump to Post— nav33n 472I am so used to google. I dont like yahoo's interface!
Jump to Post— scru 909Great. It's gunna become bloated and "integrated" into windows live. There's gonna be loads of features I don't want or need, and to top it off the entire thing is gunna be in a set of extremely gay colors.
Jump to Post— Michael_Knight 10haha funny post.
I think they will actually leave it alone, or there abouts.
Jump to Post— Ene Uran 638Yahoo is a little like Microsoft, always trailing behind in technology. Look what others have and copy or buy it.
Looks like you can see into the future Z! Maybe someone at MS read your post and made Yahoo an offer!
Jump to Post— joshSCH 1,062Microsoft buying yahoo! Hmm.. yahoo is nothing compared to google.. only fools use yahoo over google :P
But, perhaps Microsoft has some big plans in store for yahoo.. (Let's hope.. because yahoo needs a lot of help to even be half as good as google).

Hmm I would have to say Yahoo!. A lot of Google's practices aren't what I would call "better" than Yahoo!'s.

'Better' in what respect?

I think it depends. Both have their issues. One thing I will say, Google's interface is a LOT cleaner, a lot nicer, and their mail app is far superior. As far as which one is better for searching, though...don't know, google is obviously the industry standard, but that could change.

I've not used Yahoo (personally) since 1998, so Id have to say Google. I only use Yahoo for SEO and Marketing for clients, as well as Google.
Just out of interest...
Google has another search engine called Search Mash: http://www.searchmash.com

I vote for google too. Never used yahoo but I doubt it can beat google's search eigine for speed and number of links. Of course on the otherhand who realy need 100 million hits for a simple question ?

I've tested yahoo against google several times,using the exact same wording,and each time,google was faster,more concise,and to the point.
I have some privacy issues with google,but so be it.
They all collect TOO much info,so what do you want from me?!

Google is evil, Yahoo is a bunch of yahoos...
I'd rather deal with yahoos than with horned ones.

Yahoo just announced a major layoff of close to 1000 of its employees. Maybe that means that its search engine isn't as good as Google's?

Also thanks to Anonymous86 for
I like this prayer:
Our Google which art in cyberspace,
Hallowed be thy domain.
Thy search to come,
Thy results be done,
On my computer as it is in the WWW.
Give us this search our daily results.
Forgive us our spam, as those that have
spammed up against us.
And lead us not into infected sites,
But deliver us from Trojans.
For thine search engine is the greatest,
and the power,
and the glory,
For search after search.Amen

Well it looks like Microsoft might buy Yahoo, so would that mean any change in the engin's technology?
