Microsoft-Yahoo search deal inked by March 1, 2009?

Judgment made on March 3, 2009: No deal for Microsoft and Yahoo. Again. The community got this right. -- The Industry Standard

Original prediction: Newly-minted Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz said she would explore selling Yahoo's search business to Microsoft, though reports say that a deal is not imminent.

Yet a tipster told Gawker that Yahoo chairman Roy Bostock and Microsoft boss Steve Ballmer were seen in the elevator together at the Time Warner Center in New York. Could the two be hashing out a deal or were they just reminiscing the good times they've shared since Microsoft announced its bid to acquire Yahoo nearly one year ago?

Prediction: Microsoft and Yahoo announce a search deal by the end of February. A search deal includes Microsoft buying Yahoo's search business, Microsoft taking a stake in Yahoo, or both parties agreeing on a search partnership.
