"It appears that even Microsoft cannot resist the lure of Hollywood, as the software giant has formed a media and entertainment business group designed to turn the spotlight on digital networked home products. The group is also charged with influencing public policy on digital content and delivery technologies. The company's new Media/Entertainment & Technology Convergence Group will be led by Blair Westlake, former chairman of the Universal Television & Networks Group, the company announced this week."
