No. But I wouldn't be suprised if Microsoft partnered up with LG or Samsung (most likely Samsung) for a TV with IE inside of it.

 

That is probably the least likely choice.  Samsung has too many partnerships and agreements with Sony, most prominantly in the field of LCD TV production.  Frankly I think MS has entirely missed the boat on this one.

 

Yeah, it seems more likely that they'd partner with a European manufacturer or perhaps Pioneer (or LG as mentioned). Pioneer needs to shift more focus onto LCD's than they do, though, plasma screens have a less than bright immediate future.
