Yesterday Microsoft gave us some news about the “a new era in television”. The Xbox will be getting another dashboard revamp and we’ll be getting an on demand TV service.
Don Mattrick, president of Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft, said in a press release;
Combining the world’s leading TV and entertainment providers with the power of Kinect for Xbox 360 and the intelligence of Bing voice search will make TV and entertainment more personal, social and effortless.
