    They had an alternative to YouTube?

    Edit:
    [Rant] If they stopped all their blooming stupid flashy adverts over their websites, IM client etc and just had basic, simple links to their other products (i'm thinking the way that Google does it in their search pages) they might have more take-up [/Rant].
    Honestly, it amazes me that a company of their size, with their financial backing is able to still make a few quite reasonable products, but so many bombs. Maybe that's just the way that innovation works generally, but google and apple don't seem to have so many problems, at least not in my perception.

    Oh well, at least MS want to partner with yahoo. At least they don't have flashy ad-filled websites that are hard to navigate...
