Point is, I have been in the technology world for a while, and no one can see the next five years and nay say any prediction. To do so is wrong... Think more about what could or would need to happen to make it possible. I thought browsers were a waste of time in '92... Now, I feel they are a needed tool that I don't want to be without. I would have thought people in these forums knew that more than others but I guess I am wrong.

What's possible, and what will me mainstream are two different things. Music Downloads (A much better idea then movie or game downloads) has been going for well over 5 years. The experts expect Music Downloads to surpass CD's in 2012. That's just getting to 50%... it 12 years. To claim that adding support for the next generation of optical media to Vista is unimportant, and will be obsolete in 5 years, is just a load of crap.

Sorry, there is no other way to see it. In fact if optical mead was so dead, why did MS spend hundreds of millions of dollars trying to keep HD-DVD going? It’s only now “dead” because they lost. Show some dignity and just add the damn driver. No need for the bad mouthing of Sony’s format.

 

I don't remember saying Sony in my original post (Or implied)...  They won the format war hands down.  Just relax.  I happily play blu-ray because there sure aren't many games out for the PS3s.
