Microsoft and Changhong embark on network digital entertainment project
Sure, Microsoft's not a total stranger to the home entertainment realm, but apparently, it's looking to get even more involved. Recently, the mega-corp purchased a $12 million stake (just under one-percent) in China's Sichuan Changhong Electric Co. in order to collectively "develop entertainment products linking television and the internet." While the details are still being ironed out, the gist of it is that the companies will explore a "wide range of scenarios for digital entertainment needs," particularly regarding content delivery to televisions via the web. Of course, specific hardware plans weren't mentioned just yet, but we'll keep you posted.
