WebTV failed mostly due to the fact it was way ahead of its time in a period when 56k dialup was about the fastest thing available for most people so it was limited to pretty much basic web pages and that was it.
What are you talking about?.....I'm still using my bad ass Webtv unit, lol.
Yea it's old and you can't do much on it but you can't beat it when you get the subscription for free when you get cheap ($12) msn dial up service.
