MTV? Microsoft? I remember the good old day's when MTV wasn't owned by Viacom and they actually used to play "music video's on TV", rather then junk that has no nutritional value, other then feed teens with junk food shows. If there is a market Microsoft isn't in they will do all in their power to get into that market wink.gif
