Microsoft schmoozes with Hollywood


On Cnet's News.com we can read that Microsoft is going to cooperate with some main Hollywood TV shows.

The sites will be promoted on Microsofts internet portal MSN and it should be the start of competing with other mediagiant AOL/Time Warner.

In its ongoing effort to strike entertainment and media partnerships, Microsoft's MSN portal will power the Web sites for two popular TV shows produced by NBC, according to sources familiar with the deal.

...

The company's partnerships are one way to counter its nemesis AOL Time Warner's ownership of content and the largest Internet audience. Microsoft has positioned itself to media companies as a better partner than AOL, the largest media company in the world, because it doesn't compete with them. So far, Microsoft has struck only one major deal with a media company.

And again a sign of the ongoing madness of the top of MicroSoft. MS should stick to making STABLE and SECURE products, not trying to entertain people. Their we got other multinationals for.
