Default What (if any) are the advantages HD DVD has over BD?

Hey...I hate to show my ignorance here, but for whatever reason I've started to become a little worried about BD's future. I have to admit that I don't know too much about the technical aspects about either of these formats and my reasons for choosing Blu aren't exactly well thought out. I've believed BD is a better format for a long time now and with all of the studio support and the better sales I felt confident that BD would be the last format standing.

Can anyone tell me why the HD-DVD camp believes their format is a stronger format? I know about the interactivity of HD-DVD, but I know BD is actively working on acquiring that as well...why hasn't this been accomplished already?

It seems that with the move from Paramount and Dreamworks that I've started to become nervous. I still have a small collection, but it's grown to 17 and I'd hate for BD to just go away in a couple of years.

Is Warner waiting for BD to get their act together on the interactive menus and the like?

I've searched on the forums for a topic like this and I've seen a lot of threads with some of the same issues being voiced, but I wanted an objective view of why we believe BD is the superior format and what advantages or strengths do we see coming in the future, ie interactive menus, cheaper costs, or better players.
