Over all these years we have observed the convergence of  Technologies in almost all mainstream fields. The technologies
of the PC and the TV have been advancing almost independently of each other (exceptions being monitors..). What if
the two merge ? You will like this concept, if you think about the following:

• If you have a TV only, and not yet 'logged on' to the PC revolution, but want to..
• If you have a TV, and do not want to spend money on a PC..
• If you have a TV, and want to save time on watching both TV and  PC (remember picture-in-picture ?)
• (If you want to save space ?..)

in 1995, in the US. In 1997, MicroSoft acquired WebTV, which is now under the Consumer and Commerce group of the
Software giant.]

vision is: "We want to bring the Internet to the consumer market the same way "cable-ready" TV brought cable," in their
own words..]

The Differing View !

You thought that was the end of it ? NO ! There is an equally vociferous group, which insists, if you have a PC, then you
don't need a TV ! The Digital TV group, which makes PC's having the capability to receive HD-TV channels and run it on a
PC, consists of names like MGI Software, Microsoft Corp., NDS, NVIDIA™ Corporation, Ravisent, S3 Incorporated,
Santa Barbara Software, Videon, Philips, Teralogic Inc among others..
