Well, the fact that they would consider Blu-ray support says it all anyways...

If you believe Michael Bay, then Microsoft didn't do a good job prolonging the format war to give themselves time to perfect their own movie streaming technology. Their HDi may live and die with the HD-DVD format.

Bill Gates said, and I quote from USA Today:
"(USA Today): Warner's announcement backing Blu-ray high-definition DVDs suggests the death of the HD DVD format, which Microsoft has supported. What's your reaction?
(Bill Gates): There has been a lot of back and forth. The announcement before that was Paramount putting exclusive support behind HD DVD. HD DVD did well over the holidays. The other trend we're seeing is that direct download over broadband — I think the greatest example of that is XBox Live — (is) becoming an important choice. Over time, that will be the dominant way that people get their movies."
I'd dare say that Bay was on the money concerning Microsoft's true motive, especially since his comment was made way back in the summer when Paramount had just turned HD-DVD exclusive.
