[Pc_Support] Hmmm, Sun Java v. Microsoft in the BluRay v. HD-DVD war?

[Bryan J. Smith]

Interesting tidbits in this article about HP possibly
supporting HD-DVD.  It appears that BluRay is working on a
multiplatform, Java-based protection mechanism, while HP
wants Microsoft's adopted like it is for HD-DVD.  Interesting
indeed!

I might just have to research this and, in the end, rethink
my views on BluRay.  If non-US based Sony is thinking about
multi-platform support, including Linux which as always been
the base of their dev systems (even for the PS2), and
Microsoft is trying to keep certain technologies
Windows-only, it would say a lot!

Maybe Toshiba HD-DVD doesn't have the Linux consumer in mind
after all?
