Microsoft Eyes UK Digital TV Provider

Wow wont it be great when everything is controlled by microsoft?
Just think: Microsoft TV can hype Microsoft OS that is bundled with Microsoft Internet that wont let you see all that nasty "free" and "good" stuff available.
and noone will have to worry about incompatibilities! it's all microsoft, you know how well their stuff plays with their stuff
wait.......
I wonder if Ballmer will get his own workout show. It'd be even worse than flashy animation from Japan: siezures and vomiting.
