Hello Pruguy,

InterVU is (for right now) delivering popular content to end-users. The content will probably be in several formats for now. They seem to have designed a very scalable network to do so ...

This is a pretty standard Microsoft play. I think they are going to get their technologies installed side-by-side with Real, and they are going to leverage this investment to learn more about the space and the customer needs ...

Exactly! This streaming video space has a lead by Real (on the "low quality" side) and is getting a huge push from Apple on the higher quality side ...

Microsoft knows there is money in this space ... and they want their piece ... ;-)
