One thing i miss about my old job is having bank holidays off this job we work bank holidays lol,
anyway this is streaming related Microsoft are considering making a move into the streaming market however their approach will be different they want a one service for all aka Netflix, Disney+, Discovery+, Appletv etc all in one service.
Atm Disney and Apple aren't interested but Netflix, Britbox and Starz are showing interest, it will also have Microsofts tv and movie store on it too where you can rent or purchase tv shows/series/movies etc.
I'm keeping a eye on this one closely as it does seem to be gathering steam and Microsoft certainly have the funds to do this.

I think this time it's their approach on it taking a different route to what they have done in the past,
it could just end up being something like you can use you Microsoft account to pay for each services so like one bill instead of multiple etc.

They've had (or it feels like they've had) about 12 different approaches over the decades to being involved with television, whether it be broadcast, consumer products or anything remotely close to the industry. I wasn't just meaning 15 tries at the same thing.
