Kevin: Can you exactly point out where HD DVD (=Microsoft) is using Linux? As far as I know only Blu-ray players can be based on Linux (by using Sigma SoC, for example). HD DVD players tend to use a version of windows, right? You pay license of Windows CE with every HD DVD player, that's the exact reason I hate HD DVD. It's ties to M$.
Actually it isn't old news. This is from recent financial statement from Funai where they tell their strategy for year 2007. Their US strategy says they WILL introduce Blu-ray player before end of 2007. No word of HD DVD support. Earlier there was no official confirmation, now there is.
It would be also worth of notifying that Funai currently manufacturers cheap Wal-Mart DVD players and LCD TV's (providing WalMart with more than billion dollars worth of equipment). Link to their financial statement: http://www.funaiworld.com/investors/financial_report/pdf/ks_e554.pdf
Excuse me.. What is this writer talking about? He should have his facts checked. I don't know what did he take to "uncover recently" this thing :D Does this site have ANY credibility?
"With all the new multitouch capable monitors coming out, which one is the best? With the release of Windows 7 I really want a touchscreen monitor for my desktop. I'm looking to get a Full HD monitor that supports multitouch and can still look great during gaming and movies. Which one has the best specs for the price?"
