  in Microsoft abandons Zune media players in iPod defeat Comment by willb2064 March 2011
• This report sounds pretty suspect. Microsoft already has a $200 Windows TV product - it's called the Xbox 360. Why would someone buy a Windows TV box for $200 when all Microsoft could just continue to work out licensing deals and release software up…
