Microsoft [MSFT  Loading...      ()   ] had sought a tie-up with Yahoo [YHOO  Loading...      ()   ]for more than a year and by early May had offered up to $47.5 billion, or $33 per share, to buy the Internet company.

The software giant had hoped a Yahoo deal would accelerate its ability to capitalize on Web advertising growth and compete with Google [GOOG  Loading...      ()   ], which is increasingly fighting for the same Internet audience.

Gates is retiring from Microsoft on Friday, although he will remain the company's non- executive chairman.

CNBC will preview segments of the Brokaw interview all day on Friday.
