Yahoo and Microsoft Are Talking Again

Yes, Yahoo and Microsoft are talking again reports All Things Digital. It is not about M&A but, about possible partnership opportunities in search and advertising.

The report says that these talks have been going on from several weeks between Carol Bartz, CEO, Yahoo and Steve Ballmer, CEO, Microsoft. Time can only confirm as to what is cooking up.
The reports also says that the talks between both these companies are preliminary and also wide-ranging, focused on what kinds of commercial relationship Yahoo and Microsoft will have.

Don’t you think these discussions have been taking place for more than a year?
