Will Microsoft kill DVD-A and SACD?


There are two new paradigms that Microsoft is trying to dominate: peer-to-peer computing and media. (You can quote me on this.) I could wax eloquent on this but I'd have to bill you.

Anyway, Microsoft has purchased HDCD technology and licensing.

What effect will this have on the new hi-res formats? Will HDCD now replace these other formats since it has the backing of the folks from Washington State?

I have regular CDs that are in surround. Why shouldn't HDCD be able to have surround?
As I stated in an earlier post, Krell will no longer add HDCD to their processors because Microsoft raised the price too much for the licensing.
