Microsoft is reportedly a month away from launching a Windows Live Video service where content could be bought and sold much like what's available now through Google.
The new service is expected to be available publicly in April, LiveSide.net, a tech site dedicated to Windows Live news has reported.
Microsoft's current video service, MSN Video, offers a variety of news, entertainment and sports from content partners and the web. The ad-support video is streamed and is not available for sale.
It's not clear what impact a Windows Live Video service would have on MSN Video. Microsoft was not immediately available for comment.
In an interview with LiveSide.net, Moz Hussain, a product planner for Microsoft's blogging service MSN Spaces, hinted at a possible Live Video.
Hussain said future integration of Windows Live services and Spaces would allow him to "aggregate things that I'm posting in different places, whether it's a restaurant review, whether its photos from my holiday, whether its my favorite video clips and movies -- all of those things I can aggregate and share with the world."
The new service would be among the latest in a steady rollout of Windows Live products. Microsoft chairman Bill Gates launched in November the Live initiative to eventually offer all Microsoft software as a web service.
