Xbox on Your Television
Who needs a stinking Xbox console...
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates hinted Thursday that Microsoft might license the software underlying its Xbox 360 to a variety of outside companies in an effort to expand the market share for the Xbox machine.
Looks to me like someone is trying to unseat the current #1 in the console market, the Sony Playstation.
Gates didn't offer any specifics about the kind of software or which companies could potentially be involved. He also hasn't said whether the arrangement will involve manufacturers making products other than game machines, such as digital consumer electronics that combine PC and Xbox functions with home appliances.
