The pair are negotiating over whether or not AOL's software will be included in the upcoming Windows XP operating system. Published reports said that the talks to renew the deal were called off when the companies, both vying to become the dominant force on the Internet, could not agree to terms. Although the talks are back on, a source close to the negotiations said the companies are still "far apart" on key issues, "from technical questions to the overall relationship."
