Next Generation DVD War Heats Up
Ed Oswald writes in BetaNews:
The argument between next-generation DVD formats Blu-ray and HD DVD got even more heated on Thursday. Blu-ray supporters Dell and Hewlett Packard shot back at comments made Tuesday by Microsoft and Intel in an announcement of support for HD DVD, calling the two companies statements on Blu-ray "inaccurate."
At issue were comments made regarding Blu-ray's storage capacity, copyright protection and the format's "backward compatibility."
Thursday's statements could be seen as damage control for the Blu-ray side, as the group enjoyed months of positive press coverage while its competitor HD DVD appeared listless, and without direction.
However, Tuesday's announcement won the backing of both the biggest operating system vendor and CPU vendor in the world, a huge win for the format that could be hard to counter.
