Oops!...MSFT Goofs with Web-TV. Another $400 million down the drain? techweb.com Microsoft's WebTV set-top box may vanish within two years, as consumers turn to lower-priced PCs and digital-television receivers to access the Internet at home, according to analysts. "The set-top box on its own really has no future," said Paul O'Donovan, consumer applications analyst at Dataquest, in Egham, Surrey in the United Kingdom. "The stand-alone set-top box will just disappear. They will probably disappear in the next 18 months to two years as digital television arrives." "WebTV hasn't been too successful because they are offering the box to people who are neither PC- nor electronic device-literate, and only reaching a small market," he said.
