        True, but APPLE is still a major force among so-called "creative professionals" who work in professional video and desktop publishing fields.

          The difference being that MS has been far more vocal about its support of HD DVD over Blu-Ray.

          Apple has effectively only made a few whispers about either or.

            The basic point of both articles, in my view, is that the operating system vendors are covering all bases and are probably going to eventually support both formats since neither is clearly winning.

              They (operation system vendors) should support neither and force one to win. These formats "wars" are ridiculous!

              As long as both are on the market I'll buy neither until players that play both are cheap and plentiful.

              As to Blu-Ray for data storage you gotta be kidding, I just got a Seagate 500GB SATA drive with 5 year warranty for $130 at Fry's, no rebate.

                Agreed. I do all my video project archiving to removable HDD because the cost/gig is low and the retrieval speed very fast. The whole project is zipped and stored; sources, project files and the dvd compilation.
