Yahoo said they will be testing Bing powered search results this month.
Since then, I haven't really seen anyone say they see it. How will you know if you are in a test group that is seeing the Bing powered Yahoo search results? Simple. The organic results should match Bing exactly.
Now, a senior member at WebmasterWorld said he saw the exact same results on Yahoo that he sees on Bing. He then eventually cleared his cookies and the results no longer matched. I trust him, he was 100% in the test group seeing Bing powered Yahoo results.
Textex, the person who saw it said:
I was seeing it for all queries. I then cleared my cookies and it was gone.
I personally tried it on several browsers and operating systems and did not see it myself. But who knows how likely I am to see these results.

Looks like it's going on now. My client's impression volume on Yahoo has dropped like a rock today.

I saw it, and it was not pleasing, because my site's listing that used to be on yahoo's first page SERP was gone. I never ranked in Bing or their network, and cared less. But if Bing will continue to populate Yahoo's search listings, then I should care.
