This is great for people who just need basic computer needs and don't want to have to deal with thing like anti-virus, firewalls, etc. The person that comes to mind first, is my grandmother. She just needs e-mail, web access, and a word processing.

However, things move from being failed experiments to being wildly successful when it's their time.
The big differences between WebTV and now are:
1) the large uptake on broadband
2) the use of "standard" desktops rather than a unique platform that requires developers to add support for it |
