While Gates said the coming union of television and the Internet ``creates a lot of opportunity,'' he added, ``our business is software.'' Gates also said broadcast television isn't attractive because the networks' proposed standards for digital TV are so different from the computer industry's, the paper reported. Westinghouse Electric Corp. and Microsoft this month denied a newspaper report that the software giant was exploring a bid to buy Westinghouse's CBS broadcasting business. _____________ What a surprise! <g> Ibexx
