Reason #7 Microsoft Buys WebTV WebTV Networks Inc.'s [MSFT] reference design in and of itself represents little financial gain for Microsoft, but it serves as another inroad for the proliferation of Windows. Look for Microsoft to move Windows CE to WebTV and sign on several more licensees for the hardware. Microsoft also is likely to use WebTV to gain a foothold in the Digital TV market. WebTV made licensing gains last year thanks to NetChannel's purchase of ViewCall. Rather than deal with an unknown company, Hitachi Home Electronics Inc. and Mitsubishi Electronics America Inc. changed dance partners and decided to sell products based on WebTV's design and interface.
