Gates predicts Yahoo deal unlikely

Microsoft's Bill Gates, in an NBC interview with Tom Brokaw, said a deal with Yahoo is unlikely, according to a CNBC report Friday.

Yahoo fell 1.64 percent to $21.02 per share in morning trading, despite the broader markets gaining ground in early trading.

Gates prediction comes as he prepares to wrap up his last day Friday at Microsoft, where he has worked full-time. Come Monday, he serve as a non-executive chairman of the company and work at the software company he co-founded part-time.

Shares of Microsoft were essentially flat, trading up 0.43 percent at $27.87 a share in morning trading.
