Last part: deal breaker for me. I can't speak for others, but I am going to assume many feel the same. I couldn't stand looking at Yahoo search results. I switched back to Google after Firefox made Yahoo the prefer choicd (the deal with Yahoo)

Yahoo results aren't the same as Bing's; it is merely powered by it, Yahoo still has some control over results and how it uses Bing's service.

It is essentially the same result when the underlying engine is Bing, even though Yahoo can choose how to use the engine.
