It's probably the most ill kept secret that Microsoft are trying to spread beyond computers by becoming the de-facto platform for everything from PDAs, Phones to TV. And as per this NY Times article, the industry is watching to see whether Microsoft, as it enters middle age, can be innovative enough to compete effectively in software platforms beyond the personal computer.
One example is a TV delivery service based on Internet standards that allows carriers to deliver new pay TV services over existing high-speed Internet connections. An experimental model of the system will be on display for the first time at the show in Geneva and the technology will be tested by phone companies in Canada and India, said Ed Graczyk, director of marketing for Microsoft TV.
Wonder if the bandwidth in India will be good enough. Reliance, the company which MS has tied up with, is currently undergoing a lot of teething problems. But this is one thing to watch out for.
