You can't possibly be serious. First of all, Samsung sells a HUGE amount of HDTVs. Now that HDTV is finally catching on, Samsung has become known for making affordable HDTVs that look more expensive than they really are. Even my parents knew that when they were shopping for one, and they are not techies at all. In fact, Samsung has broken into the PC monitor business pretty successfully as well. Samsung's TVs look fancy with the glossy black finishes and sleek lines, but tend to cost less than similar models. Yes, lots of other companies do that too, but Samsung is considered a reliable brand and some of the other ones aren't.
Anyway, say this rumor turns out to be true. Microsoft would never cut this kind of deal with a company that doesn't sell lots of TVs. To suggest otherwise is absolutely ignorant.
