Microsoft has decided to focus on programming packages for cable subscribers via Xbox



From Daily Tech:

After taking a closer look at costs, Microsoft has decided to put its Netflix-like online subscription service on hold for now.

Ever since Netflix hit it big with its video streaming service, many have tried to follow suit with similar services. For instance, Amazon launched Amazon Prime in 2005, which offers a library of movies and TV shows that can be streamed to various devices over the Internet for an annual fee of $79.
