Ballmer dismisses Yahoo buyout but open on search
Microsoft Corp. is no longer interested in buying all of Yahoo Inc., CEO Steve Ballmer said Wednesday, though he told shareholders that the company would still be 'very open' to a collaboration on Internet search. His comments sent Yahoo shares diving more than 20 percent. 'Let me be clear,' Ballmer said at Microsoft's annual shareholder meeting. 'We are done with all acquisition discussions with Yahoo.'

Ballmer has said repeatedly of late that the buyout remains off the table, though a search-related deal is possible.
