The 56-page alleged leaked Microsoft document has given us a fascinating look into what might be the next generation of Xbox hardware, but Ars Technica has also spotted a sign that Microsoft wanted to buy out the OnLive streaming games service. In a list of "threats" to the Xbox 720, the document's creators said that OnLive could "up-end the console gaming market by making expensive consoles and PCs unnecessary for AAA gaming." If it partnered with a carrier like AT&T, it could even produce cheap subsidized hardware.
