English term or phrase: has no skin in this game
As we discuss in "Virtualization: Not Just for Servers Anymore,", vendors are hoping their Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, or VDI, offerings can ride the server consolidation wave right into the mainstream. They say VDI can make most enterprise desktop infrastructures leaner, more secure, and less expensive to deploy and manage. VMware, Hewlett-Packard, and IBM have desktop virtualization plays, as does Citrix Systems, especially since it announced plans to purchase Xen- Source. Microsoft, surprisingly, ***has no skin in this game***, unless it changes course on Longhorn's virtualization capabilities.

disagree  kalambaka: A person who has skin in the game has invested in the company they are running. Это ваша ссылка. То есть "компания не вкладывалась в этот бизнес"

Explanation:
I don't know if this helps, but this is an idiom and can be replaced by a Russian idiom, if I only knew what that was.

It can be used in business context, but need not be. It means "I have no personal investment in the outcome."

It is the same as saying "I have no stake in this game" or "I have no dog in this fight."

It is a disclaimer: "This is how I think things should be, even though I have no personal investment."

Hope that helps identify a Russian idiom.
