From a TimesOnline report [business.timesonline.co.uk] on the Microsoft shareholders meeting:

[Ballmer] said that if Yahoo! were still interested in a search deal, then Microsoft would be. "I think it is an interesting possibility to look at a search collaboration with Yahoo! as we had proposed last summer. There's no active discussion on that front. But we'd be very open to it. But acquisition discussions are finished."
