Yes.

Looks like it's now owned by MS.

I thought it always was.


Zenith Electronics started WebTV in '96 and M$ bought it in '97.


Bull****. A high school friend of my late brother, Steve Perlman
created WebTV and he certainly didn't sell or work for zenith. He
created it; sold the company to Microsoft. Maybe the zenith name was on some
units and they were marketing it.
