For inexpensive devices, the cost of licensing the operating system is substantial. For Microsoft, however, it would be actualizing a sunk cost, and when Microsoft released the MSNTV2 model, they adopted standard PC architecture and used Windows CE software with few changes. This allowed a standard PC to be used with relatively few changes, allowing MSNTV2 to more easily and inexpensively keep current. The new box had Adobe Reader, Windows Media Player, and could access Windows computers on a home network to function as a media player. MSNTV2 used a different online service from MSNTV but, like WebTV, still required a subscription. For those with broadband, the fee was US$99 yearly.
