Considering what we've seen from Bill Hunt regarding Microsoft's efforts in this whole sordid affair, I'm surprised no one has considered suing MS for antitrust and monopolistic measures to defeat Hi-Def for the sake of their own obvious interests.

"Finally, here's a very good editorial piece over at Roughly Drafted. It's called Lessons from the Death of HD-DVD. The author looks back at the history of this format war, and what was going on behind-the-scenes at Sony, Toshiba, Microsoft and elsewhere in the industry, and talks about the motivations each company had for their actions, and the larger industry context and dynamics in which the war took place. One of the things I love about this piece is that it addresses in some detail what Microsoft in particular was up to: What they really wanted and why they were so eager to back HD-DVD."

I hate MS because it is obvious they had their greedy little paws in this all along only to push us all into accepting what they wanted. God, I wish MS were broken up into little companies like Ma Bell was years ago.
