You have forgotten that MSFT and YHOO are far more diversified than you give them credit for. MSFT will be selling OS's for many many years to come and there's a place in the market for that. Plus they have a fledgling suite of business products that neither GOOG nor AAPL have been able to penetrate. Be careful who you write-off in this world. That said, I agree that the pace of innovation has been poor at MSFT and they need to start getting more creative. However, I think they do need to merge their search engines and advertising platforms to achieve the scale it will take to keep and win over advertisers while improving the user's experience.
