I didn't even blink an eye at dual format until HD DVD was officially dead and buried. Not sure you can say that about many others here except maybe chlngr1970.



No I won't. There is no other choice so I will take the steps to deal with it. I already talked to MS a bit about proper Windows Vista security settings to avoid a rootkit-like scenario with BD+.

The key is not to give PowerDVD adminisitrative privleges when playing a BD+ title EVER if it asks for them. While that won't avoid some basic anti-piracy filesystem changes it will avoid the Sony rootkit (which I confirmed with AVSFORUM insiders is possible based on BD+'s specs if you DO allow PowerDVD to get administrative privleges).

Not trying to criticize. I just remeber when you said you would go back to sd if HD DVD fell, and I remember thinking at that time, no way will he stick to that. I don't blame you or criticize you at all. You love HD on films and this will soon be the only way to get it, aside from downloads, so i understand. I just always get a kick out of people who speak in absolutes.
