Yahoo and Microsoft have had a very tumultuous relationship. Microsoft wanted to buy Yahoo but it and Yahoo were unable to come to an agreement that would merge the two companies. Microsoft ultimately tried a hostile takeover of the company that failed and the end result was that Microsoft walked away from the deal.
Rumors have been swirling that Yahoo and Microsoft were in talks again to come to some sort of arrangement on search. Yahoo's new CEO Carol Bartz joked in May that Yahoo would sell to Microsoft for "boatloads" of money.
EWeek reports that Yahoo's board of directors met last week to discuss a potential search partnership with Microsoft. However, reports claim that some Yahoo directors are concerned any deal with Microsoft would fail under scrutiny from regulators.
