Microsoft is gunning to become the digital hub of the next generation: games, phone, TV and internet. Even better, they're doing it right. Unlike Google (who stumbled with Google TV), Sony (who stumbled with 3D TV), and Apple (who stumbled with Apple TV) Microsoft has figured out a better strategy. Instead of winning you over with the centerpiece of the digital hierarchy, the large screen TV, they attack from several points, offering you phone, office, PC, laptop, and gaming choices first. I'm not saying they will extinguish the competition, but they've scored a hit with enough product offerings that they can offer bundles where their competition can't.
