The Internet is set to revolutionize television within five years, due to an explosion of online video content and the merging of PCs and TV sets, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates said on Saturday.

"I'm stunned how people aren't seeing that with TV, in five years from now, people will laugh at what we've had," he told business leaders and politicians at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Did he mean "Windows Internet TV" or is he this time open to other thing, like Joost? ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ven...ject_(Software) - and BTW, this one looks quite good...)

ya know, i don't want to interact with my tv, I quite specifically do not want interactive content on my idiot box.

I want to turn it on, and turn my brain off.

So-called "reality TV" is really, really bad TV, in my opinion.

I just tune out.

In fact, I think Gates was incorrect.

Many of us aren't "laughing" at the current crap on commercial TV.

We're tormented by it.

If anything, commercial TV continues to get worse and worse and worse.

I remember the TV shows from the 60s and even the 50s and it was dramatically better, in my opinion, than the horrendous and offensive garbage that hits commercial screens these days.
