Microsoft on Tuesday launched a video-sharing service that would challenge the popular YouTube in the fast-growing market for online amateur and professional video.

Microsoft's Soapbox video-sharing service will initially be available by invitation only. The company plans to integrate Soapbox throughout its portfolio of online services, including its Spaces blogging service and Messenger instant messaging service.

even google video cant compete with youtube, youtube is just too good and has a good fanbase, so i dont see any possibility of microsoft's new service competing with youtube or even with google video
