How's many ads YAHOO can put on a page, and competition is growing. There's an upper limit on the ads revenue, and it doesn't grow proportionally with the number of hits. In contrary, for Microsoft or software producers, the margin cost for any extra copy software is almost nil (besides the cost of S&H, a blank CD, the manual); thus, the margin will grow faster with the number of users who buy software. With on-line registration and update, the number of pirate copies will diminish dramatically.
