Would like to hear what the "mood on the floor" is with regard to the future of Microsoft/Toshiba's HD-DVD now that Warners have dropped the bomb that they're going Blu-Ray exclusive.
The high def forums are being swamped with lamentations and endless debate. Even the HD-DVD fan boys see this as the beginning of the end and the Toshiba statement issued in reaction to Warner's announcement indicates that this came as a total surprise to other HD-DVD forum members and that they're still reeling from the blow. The subsequent cancellation of the planned press briefing from the HD-DVD forum gives no confidence to those of that went red rather than blue and now feel that "red is dead".
Have Microsoft made any formal statement, and what's the general feeling on the floor (or is high def such a niche market that nobody's interested anyway?)
