respond to his statement and ask if HD DVD is such a Viable format AND Blu-Ray is not why is that the HD DVD format not being used for the following:

1)SOFTWARE...
2) video recordeing

both of which Blu-Ray is already being used for and in the case of recordeing has been used since 2003 in Asia and japan.

where is HD DVD's recorder's or SOFTWARE being put on as you would say makes HD DVD a viable format and not Blu-Ray.

here send him this:

The nine steering committee members backing the Blu-ray Disc are

Royal Philips Electronics, Samsung Electronics, Sharp, Sony and
Thomson Multimedia. Aside from Warner Bros., the other committee
members are IBM, Intel, Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research
