Microsoft expands entertainment ...

August 1, 2002

Microsoft Corp. is putting the finishing touches on a campaign to flood stores this fall with television sets, DVD players and home music systems that have full-blown Pentium computers inside.

Called the Windows XP Media Center Edition, the system will use an infrared remote control to play CDs, run movies or display streaming video feeds of Hollywood movies.

The idea is to sell homes not only Microsoft-powered TV receivers and music players running Windows XP, but also to sign them up for subscriptions to MSN (about $25 per month) to download and play movies, music and games.
