all they have to do is agree to integrate HDi
The only way they could integrate HDi and Blu-ray would be to create an implementation of HDi in BD-Java. Remember, an important Blu-ray advantage offered to third party manufacturers was choice in hardward, operating system, etc. - something that Microsoft isn't famous for backing since they make Windows. So I doubt writing an HDi implementation in BD-J would be something that Microsoft would allow. I wouldn't offer any advantages anyway, except another (interpreted) layer to place even more demands on processor performance.

I've only downloaded three free songs I won from McDonald's Monopoly, and I have no clue where they are now. I would never invest in downloaded media...there's no accountability in it and you have no idea where it's been or what's imbedded in it - not that things couldn't be embedded on a disc, but at least you'd still have the disc to prove it afterward. And if I'm so picky about my music, I assure you the last thing I'll ever do is buy a download of a hi-def movie...unless it's like twenty-five cents or something. If I'll even pay two dollars then I'd rather have the real deal.
