Microsoft will integrate Facebook, Twitter, and Sky satellite TV into the Xbox
It's fascinating to watch Microsoft, which is the world's dominant company in the operating-system market, fight for every dollar of business in other sectors. The Xbox has tough competition going up against the Nintendo Wii and the Sony PlayStation, so Microsoft is forced to innovate aggressively in order to keep up. That's the beauty of a free market, of course: Creative destruction gives more incentive to smaller firms to come up with new ideas than it gives to larger firms.
