I can't wait to see Microsoft get a powerful punch in the gut. The way they pretend to know so much is laughable to me.

They are the same on the copy protection nonsense. Look up the specs. They both have the same capabilities on that.
The primary thing that's evil about the war is that the formats are completely incompatible.
HD-DVD could lose and it wouldn't really bother Microsoft any. $150 million is nothing to a company with NO DEBT and BILLIONS in the bank. By having the studios split, it delays consumer adoption which in turn pushes consumers to use online capabilities instead. NetFlix and iTunes can both deliver HD content over the Internet. If those really catch on then the hi-def formats will be relegated to a niche market.
