You have to remember who Sony (Blu-Ray) is, who Toshiba
(HD-DVD) is and who HP is.  Sony is RIAA/MPAA interested in
tight DRM.  Toshiba is a technology company.  HP is a
technology company.

BTW, did anyone else catch the news about Toshiba partnering
with Chinese firms on HD-DVD drives?  They are going for
price to beat Sony & Blu-Ray.  Betamax all over again for
Sony?
