The fact is that Microsoft barely invested in HD-DVD. 1- They made a HD-DVD add-on for the 360, which is only used for movies and wasn't heavily promoted. 2- You can play HD-DVD movies in Vista, but you can also play Blu-Ray ones. The fact is that no matter whether MS is dying or not, this article is crap, and the posts above prove it. |
Microsoft designed HD DVD's iHD software. This software is the basis for the format. Every film uses it, and every player must support it. I wouldn't consider that being "barely invested".
Also, maybe you should read the article before commenting, hm?
OT: Overall, I agree with the article, though I don't like how he used 360 shipped numbers instead of sold. The article was obviously biased against MS, and made them out to be doing much worse than they are (just look at their financial statements), but it does portray their monopolistic practices quite accurately, and it also shows the rest of the industry's disdain to support Microsoft's endeavors.
