Why Microsoft needs to buy Netflix
- diogenescynic 15y agoThey do already use Silverlight, but I doubt Reed Hastings would be willing to take orders from Ballmer. I think Amazon should buy Netflix. Bezos+Hastings would be a great combination of talents.
- pbreit 15y agoThis article makes no sense. First, Reed Hastings would never be a co-CEO, even to Steve Jobs. Second, just this week we've hearing of Reed's disdain for hiring quantity over quality. The Netflix and Microsoft cultures probably could not be further opposite.
- Encosia 15y agoConsidering Hastings is on Microsoft's board and influences Microsoft at least slightly, it's hard to believe that their companies are opposites. I do agree that the article/idea makes little sense though.
- muhfuhkuh 15y agoIf anything, I think Netflix should buy Redbox parent Coinstar, dump the coin machines, and corner the content market, on and off-line. It certainly makes sense, and it'll reunite Reed Hastings and his co-founder Mitch Lowe under one roof again.
