Knew this would happen eventually, how much longer was Microsoft going to play second fiddle in it's 'partnership' with NBC News?They should clean house, and get rid of Sharpton, Schultz, Matthews, Maddow, & O'Donnell, while they're at it! |

What they need to do is END the US military mission in Europe and do other MASSIVE CUTS to that 5-sided corporate welfare toilet in Washington that has bled this country dry since the end of 1945. then raise the living shit out of taxes on the ANTI PRODUCTIVE business sector. |

No, MSNBC will remain, it's had no connection with Microsoft since 2005. MSNBC.com will be re-launched as a partner site with the channel, focusing more on the partisan stuff they hype than the "hard news" NBC wants us to believe they limit themselves too. |

The main reason I would be opposed to handing out non sequitar awards at SubChat is because it would be unfair to have one person win most of them. |

Comcast wanted Microsoft out of the deal because Microsoft was handling the advertising sales for the joint venture and kept blue-screening the bank. In other words, they weren't selling "airtime" for the website. That's why the deal ended. |

MSNBC retained the right to the trademark, though they cannot say MS used to stand for Microsoft when the two parted ways on the TV side of things 7 years ago. |

Have you lost the three functioning neurons in your skull? The thread is about MSFT selling its interest in MSNBC, not the usual tripe you rant about. |

Might have helped if the article had explained that Comcast was dumping Microsoft rather than the misleading and inaccurate title. NBC wanted control of the website since Microsoft wasn't paying attention to it. Then again ... nah. :) |

Most of the players here have their signature logos ... bump. :)I did agree in the last sentence though. Just wanted to point out what the actual story was. But then around here, does it really matter? Heh. |
