DK is a now historic predecessor of DKIM, and not only Yahoo!
supports DKIM, also Cisco (Ironport, SpamCop) and many others.

So that means SPF or Sender ID will have less competition

I wouldn't consider DKIM as "competition" for SPF, they have
different goals on different layers (2822 vs. 2821).  

Maybe SSP, the not yet ready DKIM "sender signing practice",
will be a competition for PRA (SenderID).  And maybe MS likes
DKIM-SSP better than PRA when it is ready.  I'd be surprised
if MS does something rush, integrating Yahoo! is a huge task.

Hope now all yahoo mails will come with SPF records.

If your "now" means "before 2010" I doubt it... ;-)
