They are the same on the copy protection nonsense. Look up the specs. They both have the same capabilities on that.
True, but capabilities are different from implementation.
Apparently you've never used windows

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.
I think Microsoft wants HD-DVD to lose but not before it can cause Blu-ray to lose as well. They're so arrogant that they actually think they can somehow force movie downloads to become the home-video-market standard. As if people would currently want to download their movies onto their hard drive instead of owning a more permanent recording. Downloading media still takes too long (at least in comparison to the quality of the video/audio) and Hollywood's desired copy protection makes downloaded content that much more obnoxious. Oh, and Vista sucks ass.
