Page 2 of 2

R2 Studios was created by Sling Media founder Blake Krikorian in May 2011. Sling Media developed Slingbox, which let users watch television on their computers. R2 Studios has been working on ways to display content on televisions, which could coordinate with Xbox’s focus of adding TV entertainment to its gaming console.

Even though this may not be a huge blow to the executives at Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) has to feel good about the purchase. It isn’t everyday that they beat the competition to the punch.
