The WebTV set top box company was long ago bought by Microsoft. They changed the name to MSNTV. More recently they introduced MSNTV2 which uses an updated browser(a watered down IE6) and can work on broadband. It does not appear that this is very popular. They now use an email address of msn or hotmail(which is the same). Some who were on the old WebTV boxes were allowed to keep their old webtv.net mail address. But, in summary, this has all been part of Microsoft for many years now. When WebTV first came out, in the late 1990s, I believe, it was much cheaper than computers were then, so many who could not buy a full computer bought it. However, as computer prices came down, the user base shifted more to older people who had very limited computer needs - often mainly mail, ordering, and NGs. Entry level computers are now so cheap that one does not save a lot buy buying a MSNTV 2 now, and that likely is the main reason that MSNTV 2 does not appear to be selling very well. |
