In the year 2000,a company called Rogers cable partenerd with Microsoft,to produce "RogersInteractive Television ".It had a great impact on its users as the service enabled Rogers users to enter the web through Tv Sets.It also made them create their own websites,shop online,chat,and access mails.This was the first broadband of MSN TV.Later in the year 2005,Microsoft introduced MSN TV2,its the same as MSN,as it allows the use of a mouse,along with that it uses the TV as an output device.For cheap devices,the cost of licensing the operating system is substantial.For microsoft,it is like actualizing a sunk cost,but when microsoft released the MSN TV model,than they got standard PC architecture and used windows software with few changes.This made a standard PC to be used with few changes,this allwed MSNTV2 to stay in current.
