DVD Fight Intensifies

DVD Fight Intensifies: Microsoft and Intel to Back Toshiba Format - New York Times

Yikes! Another format war!

Does this mean we'll all have to buy two formats of DVD player for the next generation of discs?

Or, like with DVD-R and DVD+R, will every machine just support two standards and we choose on which version of the disc we buy?

Is the world we live in destined to offer a confusing array of choices? A few people figure out what they like best, and the rest of us that really don't know the difference and don't care, just follow?

I guess that's the price of not having a world dictator. Wait, wasn't that supposed to be Bill Gates? Let's see if he can make everyone else to follow his lead.
