Found this interesting article in BusinessWeek.com about Microsoft getting a new director to lead its search division.

In spite of efforts to build buzz around Live Search and the adCenter platform, Microsoft handles far fewer search queries than Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc., the top two players. According to research group Nielsen/NetRatings Inc., Microsoft snagged about 10 percent of U.S. searches in February, compared with Google's 56 percent and Yahoo's 21 percent.

I think google will stand strong. Personally I think google has the best website results, but yahoo has better image results. As for microsoft, untill they get way more results in their databases they will flail behind.
