He has a point but this press release is mainly to push MS\'s new MCE 2005.  Neat software but it\'s not exactly new or groundbreaking.

I hate BG as much as the next person, but to be fair, that wasn\'t an MS propaganda miggy wiggy at all. Bill\'s statements are applicable to everyone in the business; from cable companies to TiVo type manufacturers.
