Microsoft giving one more try to get into cable TV business | |
|

When it comes to failed investments, Microsoft's history of ventures in cable television ranks down there with the XFL, New Coke and "Gigli." The company has spent years wooing the cable industry with billions of dollars and the promise of high-tech innovation that would revolutionize the way people watch television. But after all this time, the closest it has come to getting into most televisions is through its own commercials. | ||

| Actually, I think that "Gigli" has made more money. |

I loved my UltimateTV service. In fact, I think it's superior to Tivo.
But, after the way Microsoft abandoned everyone on that front I will never, ever trust them again for any sort of content provisions. They did it to themselves. TL |

| Then clearly Gigli is the better investment. MS has spent Billions investing in the cable business and has gotten back 2 oranges and an apple. |
