Intel May Support Blu-ray Too
"Intel, which last week expressed support for the HD-DVD format for high-definition video discs, is open to also supporting the rival Blu-ray Disc format if its backers agree to allow copying of content from discs onto home multimedia servers, an Intel executive says.
Intel's decision to join the HD-DVD Promotion Group and come out in favor of the format, which it did together with Microsoft, was a departure from the company's usual stance of technology neutrality.
The decision was born out of a belief that the interests of consumers are being ignored as the world's largest consumer electronics, computer and content companies prepared to bring two competing and incompatible high-definition optical disc formats to market, said Donald McDonald, vice president and general manager of Intel's digital home group. He was speaking at a news conference at the Ceatec exhibition here on Tuesday." [more]
