Question Why Microsoft wants HD DVDs to win
The reason why Microsoft, who is one of the the biggest HD-DVD supporters is willing to do anything to win is because if it does win then Microsoft would make money off of every HD-DVD sold. Microsoft created the inferior programing code that is used in HD-DVD's while blu-rays use a Java based code which is harder to program but far better. Microsoft has a patent on the code and every HD-DVD that is sold Microsoft makes a small percentage of the sale. So Microsoft is supporting a inferior technology so they can make some extra money.
