Microsoft announced today that Philips Electronics has agreed to use its software for playing digital audio and video on its semiconductors and consumer electronics products. Analysts called the deal a significant win for Microsoft.
"Consumer electronics devices are going digital. Clearly Microsoft wants to establish hegemony in the digital media platform as it has in computing," Leigh said. "This is a step in the right direction. It means that Microsoft is a factor. It is an admission by Philips that Microsoft is probably going to play an important role in digital consumer electronics devices."
