This article reminds me that interestingly, Microsoft initially thought in the early 90s that when the Internet (then more often referred to as the information super highway) came to our homes, it would be through TV set-top boxes. They were wrong.
In many ways their purchase and development of Internet Explorer and Hotmail/MSN/Windows Live has had a "catch-up" element to it. That said, I'm not at all an anti-Microsoft type. Its just interesting to see how history has ebbed and flowed.
