Movies Anywhere, Disney's attempt to create bridges between ecosystems when it comes to movies, has now been expanded to include Microsoft's Movies & TV service.

Streaming services are still a huge draw, but those who like to keep a digital collection will no doubt be tempted to head back to the Microsoft Store.
