MS Plans To Cooperate With Chinese TV Maker

Posted by timothy on from the match-made-in-heaven-with-stars-and-report dept.

zhangyong writes "Microsoft has signed a strategic cooperation pact with China's top television maker Sichuan Changhong Electric Appliances (which claims to be the world's number-two maker of colour TVs, OEM for APEX, etc.), the official Shanghai Securities News (in Chinese) (in English) said on Monday. 'Changhong would receive advanced IT technology and software from Microsoft to develop digital TV sets and other high-technology products.' What will happen when low-cost labor in China is combined with Microsoft technologies?"
