I believe Microsoft is a minority shareholder of Hughes Electronics (parent to DirecTV), but I don't know how large their share is. IIRC, this investment was made when Microsoft was looking at DirecTV as a captive market for its UltimateTV settop units. That initiative didn't pan out, but I think Microsoft kept the shares. --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL --------------------------------------------- This message was sent from Peaknet, Inc. http://www.peaknet.net/ -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
