Doesn't MSFT get it.......... Microsoft is making chips Software maker is developing communications circuit for WebTV August 23, 2000: 2:43 p.m. ET NEW YORK (CNNfn) - Microsoft Corp., the world's largest software maker, is ready to try its hand at the chip business. In a move that could threaten its close working relationship with Intel, the world's biggest chipmaker, the Redmond, Wash.-based software giant has been pouring money into the development of a semiconductor it plans to use in its upcoming "WebTV" Internet access devices. The new chips, details of which were first reported in the San Jose Mercury News Wednesday, are code-named Solo2. They have been designed to control the next generation of Internet access devices built by Microsoft's Mountain View, Calif.-based WebTV Networks subsidiary. Microsoft Corp. (MSFT: Research, Estimates) has spent about $100 million developing the chip, which it expects to roll out this fall . YOU THINK THE DOJ IS SCRATCHING ITS HEAD THINKING THAT MSFT DID NOT HEAR A WORD THEY HAVE SAID THE LAST 3 MONTHS!
