Microsoft Longhorn To Support HD DVD Format

Posted by timothy on Monday July 26, 2004 @11:00AM from the filthy-rich-media dept.

MSDVD writes "Microsoft's Japanese Division reported that its upcoming operating system, code-named Longhorn, will support HD DVD format. HD DVD is an enhanced version of the standard DVD technology. According to online reports, Microsoft is pushing the next-generation blue-laser DVD technology like NEC and Toshiba. Blue-light technology can read and write data much faster and at higher densities, which is needed for high-definition content. Few Japanese companies said they will have HD DVD content based DVDs by next year to support the players."

Okay... way too may spelling and grammer errors to be ignored:

1) Paragraph breaks and white space will not hurt you if you use them.

2) "rewinded" should be "rewound"

3) "FORCE FEEDED" should be "FORCE FED"
