Microsoft is shuttering MSN TV, the service which put internet access on users’ TV sets as early as 1996 as WebTV, shifting remaining users – and their content – over to SkyDrive. The decision, Microsoft says, was made because “there are many new ways to access the internet” since WebTV initially launched, and as such it will be ceasing service on September 30. The decision comes amid rivals like Apple and Google ramping up their smart TV plans, while Microsoft itself is renewing its efforts on dominating the living room with the upcoming Xbox One.
Just how shock-ing is it?

Stop buying the fucking game! It is no secret that the game is based around opening packs that need to be bought with real money if you want to be competitive. Yes I know, you have the chance to get the cards without investing real money, but that is a real grind and you still may never get the cards you want. This is not new and it will not change if people keep buying the game/packs.
I had no idea that WebTV was still a thing.
I have been using Xbox Music religiously since I got my Surface RT... Its such a great service. The way that I can throw things between the tablet and Xbox is spectacular. I'll be listening to some Slightly Stoopid top hits on my surface on the balcony, realize my TV is right through the screen, mash my finger on the pad, and the music is immediately jamming through my TV speakers. May seem trivial... but that's the sort of minor detail that makes these things so great.
If MS can come up with a TV service that is even remotely as functional, I'm going to be a happy customer. Hopefully with a free-to-use ad-supported model, and a negligibly expensive premium service.
Microsoft had some great ideas in the 90's. They were just ahead of the curve. Alot of stuff they tried to market are now taking off these past couple of years, but from other companies.
That's mess up.
