As far as I've used Search Engines I've never liked Yahoo, but on the side of making a few bucks (in the form of stealing from the rich giving to the community) is alright with me, plus Yahoo is indirectly owned by Micro$oft, no one will actually connect the dots to figure that Ubuntu is using a Micro$oft engine... I just wish Google forked up a bit more cash to help out so we wouldn't have to have made this change. Ew.

But saying that they're taking Microsoft's money is like using a stolen version of Windows to show that you hate Microsoft. It being stolen doesn't really matter, because you're still using Windows and so your point is entirely moot. By using Windows you have expanded their userbase, you are promoting them by saying it's worth stealing and you extend their stranglehold on computing. Microsoft can afford to pay Canonical to use Yahoo! Search in Ubuntu because they will themselves make money out of the partnership. I never said it makes them a bad company.

So is this switch actually a good thing for the majority of Ubuntu users? I don't think it's in their best interests. Of course it's nothing critical though, but it is a possible annoyance, and Ubuntu doesn't need anymore annoyances.
