Ugh, you're really not following the Bay saga very closely. Running to avs and finding links is a poor substitute.
As for microsoft, it's not a theory. The company seeks to eliminate competition through noncompetitive business practices with little regard for what's best for consumers. That's how it operated from inception. That's how Gates became so wealthy. That's how MS software has consistently been a letdown. Then you HD DVD adopters come along and pretend MS farts don't stink. Really weird AuPhL, that an old hippydippy like you would find yourself defending the epitome of corporate greed and lack of consumer concern.
Even weirder that you would pretend a disparity of 20 gigs is irrelevant to an HD format war, but we've beaten that horse to a pulp and you're still clueless as ever. Continue to wave your pompoms for HD DVD (see how easy it is to engage in your idiotic rhetoric?).

- I don't buy for theoretical capacity, I buy movies I want to watch in high definition. - Audiophilander 07:30:22 12/11/07 (5)
- Nothing theoretical about capacity. Do you also not care about it when buying a PC? - Jazz Inmate 12:53:57 12/11/07 (4)
- Capacity is an empty warehouse; theory is what you 'may' fill it up with. - Audiophilander 14:23:42 12/11/07 (3)
