Poll--WebTV Report Card: Does It Make the Grade?
In 1998 and 1999, we conducted WebTV Report Card polls, where we asked WebTV users to grade the software, the service, future possibilities, and rank how important each aspect was to you personally.
Now, 18 months since our last poll, we'd like to see how well WebTV is measuring up and whether the grades have changed. Please take our WebTV Report Card poll, and tell your friends about it so they can grade WebTV, too! Take the Poll!
