Same keywords, different positions of different companies. Aren't they using the same algo for their rankings?

Bing and Yahoo have a partnership where Yahoo will use Bing's algorithm for ranking, but can still affect how things are displayed to the user. Covario has a post on this last year at http://actionableinsights.covario.com/1650/bing-and-yahoo-%E2%80%93-same-algorithm-different-results/ that should provide some more background information.
