Re: [LUG] Interesting Article on the death of hd-dvd

 

It surprised me as well Richard that there hasn't been a load of reaction to 
this.  Maybe it's because it's a long blog and people are busy.  A cracking 
summary of the hd/blue-ray battle but it's the background that is 
fascinating.  The concept of a loose consortium of companies chipping away at 
Microsoft's dominance was one I hadn't considered but it makes perfect sense, 
as long as they don't get pulled up themselves for anti competitive 
behaviour.  
This, I think, is what is going to swing the balance to free software and thus 
to Linux and to a whole lot of improvement and innovation.  It could gather 
momentum very quickly.
