An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft has confirmed plans to launch its TV service over Xbox Live by this holiday season.

Utilizing the Kinect attachment, users will be able to navigate through content with voice commands. The search function will be powered by Bing.' The company also wants to tie Xbox Live's social experience into viewing video content. Steve Ballmer said, 'You should have any entertainment you want with all the people you care about, really simply and on any screen.'"Read more of this story at Slashdot.
