HP No Longer Exclusively Supporting Blue-Ray 134
linumax wrote to mention an MSNBC article stating that HP is dropping its exclusive support for Blue-Ray. They'll be offering support to the HD-DVD format as well. From the article: "The decision is the latest sign of a looming 'format war' between the competing standards for a new generation of digital video players that can record high-definition films and video games. Blu-Ray and HD-DVD-compatible devices are expected to hit stores worldwide early next year."

And now we have the next turn around, with Blu-ray and HD-DVD.
So place your bets, gentlemen. Will one die, as in Betamax?
Or will they eventually be combined in a single machine? (Is that possible?)

It almost seems as if MS is "convincing" HP to make this move. I don't know if it has anything to do with java itself since MS paid sun $2 billion but more of a "all media technology must only work well on windows" type of thing.
