Actually business wise, its best to not respond to rumors. If you respond to rumors, then you suddenly do not, you give validation to when you respond and when you do not. Its best to not respond at all. If the rumor is incorrect and it never happens, people would stop believing in rumors but more important, you do not give any validation to any rumor as the industry is full of them.
Now MS might already had plans for an event to talk about their business plans and even if they did, it would still not be in their best interest to respond to rumors.
Also if you believe if MS got to a point where they had to make an official reply, you do want to prepare for it as best as you possible can as you read the general feedback on the rumors to form your reply. Knee jerk reply's usually is the worse you can do and usually it does more damage than resolve anything.
