Microsoft releases new version of MSN TV

This thing is still around? Microsoft this week unveiled a refreshed MSN TV set-top box which brings with it a hip new modern vibe. Unlike the MSN TVs of the past, which focused on getting mom and dad online using a pokey dial-up connection, today's MSN TV recognizes that many people have broadband connections and might want a second outlet to the Internet on their TVs. So MSN TV is being retooled to appeal to a more technical crowd, and it includes some interesting functionality, such as the ability to stream photo slideshows and music from a networked PC. Priced at $199, the MSN TV box will go on sale in October. Pinch me, but I'm actually interested to see how this pans out.
