While I'll agree MS isn't exactly a great company, these conspiracy theories about MS throwing millions of dollars into the war just to prolong it are getting really annoying. They have come out and said numerous times those rumors are completely bogus "stories" being dug/made up by some internet fanatics (read: Bill Hunt...shudder....god he's awful at perpetuating crap-ass rumors...and people freaking believe him! (this is why I bring him up, no matter how useless his journalistic integrity is).
Toshiba on the other hand; well you can blame them all you want. Because they are the ones making all these payouts to prolong the war. MS deserves all the heat/pressure/hate they get for all the crap things they have done in the past, but this is actually something that really doesn't involve MS very much at all. If you actually look at this obvectively, you'll see they have very little involvement in this "war", mainly just contributing software, such as VC-1 (to both BD and HD DVD mind you). They support HD DVD, but that doesn't mean they're gonna throw 150 million dollars into this; sorry that logic is flawed.
Anyways, just get your hate going in the right direction (towards Toshiba), and don't believe everything you read on the internet.
Toshiba = HD DVD
MS = barely cares about HD DVD (relatively to the rest of the projects the company is involved in)
PS Linux rocks. UBUNTU ftw my friend
