Dan, MS can't deliver this.

TCI licenses Sun's PersonalJava for advanced TV set-top boxes

"We certainly are hoping to place one set-top box in each household," Ravenel said. " PersonalJava gives us the ability to have an applications environment for broadband networks without concerns which processor or operating systems we use in the set-top devices," Ravenel said.

I'm sure TCI knows how MS is a preditory company. I also think MS want to control the pipes that will feed the future NC's and not hesitate to cut out TCI down the road. This is another reason why I think TCI isn't to eager to let MS in the door.

JMHO
