A friend of mine passed on the Rumor of Microsoft IPTV again today.  It seems that the topic keeps coming up and various evidence all points in the direction of an offering from MS sometime in the near future.  Check out these screen shots posted by an Xbox fan out there:  http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/10/26/rumor-leaked-screens-show-iptv-and-fall-update/.

I say bring it on Bill, IPTV for the masses!  Mostly I'm just continually irritated that the cable companies keep block us out from getting full HDTV over cable without having to purchase "OEM" machines.  OEM is just another name for proprietary lock down without any ability to upgrade.  Give your customers freedom and they will certainly appreciate you.

Well, make your own decision and let me know if you have any information to add  by commenting below.
