One thing you forgot to mention though Richard - BlueRay *already has* an interactivity layer. A extremely robust and mature one too: BlueJ - i.e. Java for Blueray. So no big guesses guess why MS want iHD... The problem is iHD is brand new, and completely unproven in the field.
I think there is some shady behind-the-scenes deals going on between MS and HP here.
