08/27/2004 02:05 PMWhile Hollywood needs tools that compress huge computer files small
enough to put on a DVD or send over the Internet, studios say they
need to encourage competition so they won't be held hostage by one
company. Microsoft says it has learned from its earlier, sometimes
heavy-handed, dealings with Hollywood.

Hollywood still wary of Microsoft
Hollywood still wary of Microsoft
08/16/2004 05:52 PMFor a while now Microsoft has tried to get into the 'Hollywood'
market. By opening up its WMP9 codec and by making deals with popular
movie industries like Disney. Even after all of this Microsoft isn't
being welcomed with opened arms, and with good reason as the movie
industry continues to keep its suspicion on high alert.
In the past Microsoft’s business practices where questionable at best,
but since then Microsoft has developed new and better practices that
everyone will agree are better in at least one way or another. Still
Hollywood maintains caution when dealing with a company as powerful as
Microsoft. According to the Associated Press Hollywood maintains two
fears about Microsoft. The first fear is that Microsoft could buy out
the companies, while the second fear is that the PC market would hurt
the movie industry as it did the music industry. Not everybody agrees
with the movie industry. In fact Microsoft already has licensees for
its Windows Media digital rights software for Walt Disney, AOL, Dell
Inc., Samsung, and Movielink LLC. Proof that other companies are
willing to be the first to enter the new digital market.
The fact of the matter is the PC is the future, and like or not the
movement is coming. This can already been seen with the music
industry, but don't expect the movie industry to effected the same
way. Especially right now with the current size of digital movies,
but eventually both the movie and music industry will come to rely on
the PC. As time goes on the movie industry will probably warm up to
Microsoft (especially with its market share). Who knows in this time
frame other companies might come out with an even better format. I
guess well just have to wait and see where the movie industry is going
to go.

01/05/2004 02:31 AMPersonal-computer kingpins Microsoft Corp. and Intel Corp. are angling
for a more prominent position in the nation's living rooms, with
designs of enthroning the PC as the new centerpiece of home
entertainment, Monday's Wall Street Journal reported. The two giants
will detail their latest assault at this week's Consumer Electronics
Show in Las Vegas. There they plan to discuss a series of products
that they say will make it easier to use PCs to organize movies, music
and television shows while shuttling that media around the home. The
announcements should also serve as a stepping stone in the two
companies' decade-long quest to embed Microsoft software and Intel
microchips directly into televisions.

09/02/2004 12:49 AMEvery once in a while, the dance between trends and technology
achieves an almost perfect state of synchronicity that changes the way
we experience the world. This may be one of those times. Among the
trends: five years ago, less than 13 percent of Internet users had a
digital-music file on their computer. Now, 70 percent of computer
users listen to music on their PCs. And that is just the tip of the
iceberg. Last year, more than 100 million digital photos were taken.
More and more people are using PCs to view videos. By the end of this
year, 9.5 million TV tuner cards will have shipped.
