Jobs in talks with Comcast?

[octane]

I'm sure someone started a thread on the Microsoft deal with Disney. I searched, but I couldn't find it, so I apologize.

But I like the sound of this.

If this deal was to go through, it could seriously derail Microsoft's attempts to force .wmv / .wma onto everyone...

The deal mentioned in the article would be that a Comcast-owned Disney would still do work with Pixar. How does that affect the .wmv/.wma thing? Comcast is still in bed with Microsoft, too - and Pixar doesn't influence Disney's sales channels/options.

Come on! Do you thing Jobs is going to let that deal go through if he's got a hand on the Disney steering wheel .. err, no!

To use terms Microsoft have been [rightly or wrongly been attributed to be] using, he'll either: 'kill the baby' or 'cut off the air supply'.

I can seen Frank Casanova putting his hair in a bob and fastening his tie right now...
