They already have a version (written initally for Comcast) that can run on the set-top boxes Verizon is using.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16906146 Fri, 15 Sep 2006 00:23:06 EDT Re: TiVO http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16903145 dvd536 :

It would seem to be a logical move, since MS wants to be synonomous with the living room as well as the computer room - their WebTV products come to mind.

Yahoo Finance says Tivo's market cap is $690 million, so MS could theoretically buy them outright.
690 million is a drop in the bucket.
they've probably thrown parties bigger than that.

Who's to say they wouldn't eventually buy Tivo and nerf it with their own technology? :D
