I can't help but imagine that there are some interesting stories that will come out. When msnbc was created, it was when MS and NBC were both kings of the world. Seinfeld, ER, and some other shows were incredibly popular, Windows was bulldozing everything and NT was taking hold in a big way, it looked unstoppable. I remember being worried about MS taking control of media content and that looked effectively like an end game. Why would you run Linux or Mac if the hottest content was only on Windows? I honestly believe that was the plan too, but it didn't turn out. Next thing you know, msnbc is just another news channel among the many, trying to stand out. Has to be some great culture clash stories.
