Microsoft TV Server

How many of you heard of this before? Nope, this is not MSDN TV, .NET Rocks! or others. It's REAL TV, maybe I don't know Microsoft that well :) Believe it or not, it has a /tv url after ms.com. Google a while, I found out that it is actually launched way back year 2000! Mm... well, I know Microsoft like to go into this business, but I didn't know that it started since 2000 and selling TV server?

You might wonder how I found this? Err. take a look at this kb -
323254 HOWTO: Lock Microsoft TV Server by Using the IISLockDown Utility

I'm an IIS guy, hence I read most of the IIS KB. 'Microsoft TV Server'? and IIS server? Apparently not much detail I can find, I assume the TV platform is hosted on IIS server, and we can install IIS lock down tool to further secure it.

Thanks for the link, Paul. I'm just very interested to see how IISLockdown work on the TV Platform, and from my guess it is still using IIS 5.0.
