Microsoft Invests in Rogers

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the canada-eh? dept.

GRW wrote in with a link to a story about Microsoft investing in Rogers, Canada's largest cable company. The $600M (I'm assuming that's CDN) is meant to "change the way Canadians watch TV". Microsoft says Rogers will use "Microsoft's television platform". Is that CE, or something more general?

    I have a deep technological respect for the Microsoft Television Platform. Why, if it weren't for all those old windows cd's holding up my television set, the darn thing would wobble all the time.

    I really hate buzz-phrases like this. I got this mental image of a bunch of Canadians hanging upside down bat-style from their lampshades so they could watch TV differently.
