Thomas Hawk thinks I’m making “excuses” for Microsoft:
My own opinion is that even a closed HDTV system inside of an open box where the cable/satellite provider got all the money and Micorosft got none and got screwed two years later would be preferable to the current strategy of no native HDTV.
We obviously disagree. And I think if you brought that business plan to anyone at Microsoft with P&L responsibility, you’d be lucky to get out of the office alive, much less still employed.
And for that matter… How would you and I and all the rest of Microsoft’s customers benefit from this?
