Hi: Here's a Gigalaw.com blurb that brings a smile to your face.  MS was 
facing one of the greatest boondoggles in history, had it gone forward 
with its' orginal fiasco.  As it is, I suspect they still will have a 
problem selling their "home entertainment center".  What do you think?
Thanks,

Microsoft's most ambitious effort yet to bring the personal computer into
the living room.
