   Well here's a new one. Microsoft is apparently in negotiations "with TV networks to create a new subscription-based TV service on its Xbox gaming console," according to Reuters. This information comes from sources who "asked not to be identified," so take it all with a grain of salt. From what it sounds like, this offering would be different from on-demand and pay-per-download offerings from the likes of Netflix, Apple TV, and Amazon, and would instead behave similarly to how your cable service currently works. It must irk Microsoft to no end that Google TV is being prominently displayed at Best Buy in time for the holiday shopping season -- and is getting lots of buzz in the tech and mainstream press. Microsoft has two established offerings capable of delivering rich TV, sports and movie programming into your home: Xbox Live and Windows Media Center.
