A trusted source at Microsoft has been overheard saying that they completed a deal to buy 1200 End Caps in Best Buy, Circuit City, and Comp USA to sell the MSN live line of video cameras and Uniden Dual PSTN/MSN phone for the US market.
My source says Microsoft wants to gut Skype at every turn. This also seems to be a possible thrust at the same market that PhoneGnome has carved a nitch with.
As for video, they should just incorporate SightSpeed rather than trying to do something almost as good....
