BillyG,

Here are some things I wanted to put on one page.......

Microsoft, which has already invested $500
million in Telewest's arch-rival NTL

Telewest and CWC are
again in strategic talks -

r Microsoft Corp (MSFT - news) said it would buy a 29.9
percent stake from U.S. cable group MediaOne Group Inc

So the question of whether Microsoft will force Windows CE onto Telewest is a trivial view. Equally views about simple mergers may be wide of the mark. The outcome of what will undoubtedly be some kind of rationalisation will be to make the UK Microsoft's new home service laboratory.

Yest announcement shows CUBE is heavily involved in the UK too.....
- C-Cube Microsystems announced today that its AViA digital set-top silicon technology has been selected by Pace Micro Technology, the UK's leading provider of digital set-top boxes, to power approximately 90% of the digital cable set-tops in the UK.........

SI's own DiV on this subject.......

Message 9336101

.....port WinCE to Sun's Sparc CPU.
I just don't see the latter happening...

Something just doesn't fit here

Conclusions....

1. Pace isn't using the complete AViA, but mates it with another CPU.
If we find out they use the complete solution then.......

We need some help here.
Anyone?
