IAMSAM--I also liked the following excerpts:

"The demonstration will couple the Wavexpress datacasting application with Microsoft TV Technologies, yielding a fully integrated end-to-end solution for delivering interactive content and commerce to consumers. The Microsoft TV Technologies is part of the extensive television support being provided in future versions of Microsoft Windows.


Microsoft is providing a next generation driver architecture targeted at digital television applications and is providing critical API functions to support key operations such as network selection, channel tuning, stream de-multiplexing, audio/video decoding, and IP packet extraction. Providing these functions within the core operating system will yield multiple benefits, including a common tuning and stream control model, a modular component architecture, enhanced datacasting support, and the flexibility to seamlessly utilize either hardware or software based transport demultiplex and MPEG decoder solutions."


Now many will focus on the fact that the PR is dated a few yeas ago. But the same folks will of course fail to underscore that the MICROSOFT/WAVEXPRESS(Tvtonic) relationship is still alive and well, as reflected in the recent WAVEXPRESS/Windows Media PR.
