I have know idea where this idea should go withing Microsoft, but I've been
saying for about 5 years that someone needs to put a chat window on my TV.
It's a nice concept to think that people will watch video and TV on their
PC's but everyone in the US wants a $2,000 flat screen and after you've spent
that much $$$ you want to spend some time in front of it.
The concept was driven home during the NHL playoffs. My four friends
located in Boston, NH, and CA all watched the game in our homes on our large
screen TVs while chatting on our laptops about the hits, the shot selection
etc. It felt like we were all sitting in the same bar watching the game
together. I'd imagine this would be very popular around sporting events -
World Cup, Cricket, NFL, NASCAR - or with kids watching their favorite videos
on MTV.
I don't need a huge PC built into the TV, just a small processor capable of
handling one specific task - IM. This is a Google-killer, go make it happen.
