Microsoft to Offer Original Entertainment Content

Microsoft has quite taken over the world yet. Now they want to offer you original entertainment content for your computer and television. According to TheStreet.com:

The world's largest software company is going Hollywood, signing a partnership with Reveille, an independent production company, to develop original content for its struggling MSN service. The "multi-project deal," which The New York Times disclosed earlier Wednesday, calls for Reveille to develop entertainment programming that will first appear on the site originals.msn.com.

The article continues:

Reveille, whose shows include NBC's "The Biggest Loser" and MTV's "Date My Mom," will create programs that may be seen in other formats such as mobile devices and -- in an ironic twist -- television sets, Microsoft says. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

So do you think that when there's programming problems, you'll see the blue screen of death during your show. That would be so cool!
