I know it's easy (and awfully lazy) to blame everything on Microsoft.
They're a big corporation, so they must be evil, right? Not like that
consumer-driven mom&pop shop Sony. Well, the problems that A MINORITY
own owners were having with their HD-DVD playback had nothing to do with
VC-1. It was a Toshiba bug, which Toshiba has now fixed. Hear that, they
fixed it. The problem is fixed. Harping on it just makes you sound like
you have an axe to grind. Meanwhile, the people who actually own the
players are happy with them.
