Microsoft will not get involved in any potential acquisition of Disney and is focused on what the software maker expects to be a groundbreaking new product, Chairman Bill Gates said late on Wednesday.
"We're not going to be involved in it, because we're very focused on software," said Gates in an interview aired late on Wednesday. "We're not part of the bid or anything," Gates said, confirming analyst skepticism that Microsoft would become involved in a Disney deal.
