Updated with full quote, additional information: Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer restated his position on Yahoo in response to a question from a shareholder at the company's annual meeting in Bellevue this morning.

"Can you tell us what's happening with Yahoo, or not?" asked a woman who did not identify herself.

Ballmer replied: "Yeah, let me be as clear as I think I've tried to be publicly. We are done with all acquisition discussions with Yahoo. I've said that a bunch of times. Somehow, some people got confused nonetheless. We did our best. We thought we had something that made sense. If it made sense to them, we've moved on. With that said, I've also been clear that if they were interested we would still be--- I think an interesting possibility to look into search collaboration with Yahoo, as we had proposed last summer, but there's no active discussion on that front, but we'd be very open to it. But acquisition discussions are finished."
