Regardless of who created what, the acquisition of Hotmail was a good strategic corporate move. Yahoo's search properties could be a good investment as well.

Yahoo's Overture / PPC product is a bit of a dog though. Although I've used it since the product was known as GoTo (Yahoo didn't create that either) , the usability of the product is not very good, and the ROI is questionable. It might reinvigorate MS's PPC though.
