Is Microsoft About to Launch A Video Download Service? - Softpedia: "There are several rumors making the rounds online which indicate the fact that Microsoft might be interested in launching its own online video service, which will offer users video content and will also help promote the proprietary WMV (Windows Media Video) format. This would also imply that the company will be offering a helping hand to all of the producers of media players compatible with the Windows Media Video format, and this, according to the software giant, would help in turning people's heads away from the winning system Apple has put together with the iPod Video and the iTunes online music and video marketplace."
