Open Mouth, Change Feet

Microsoft has announced that you won’t be able to play forthcoming HD-DVD media in your 32bit computer. You’ll need to upgrade to a 64bit computer for that.

 

While Microsoft may claim that they are doing this at the behest of the media companies (which very well may be true), the reaction from the computer-buying public is likely to be one of anger. It certainly doesn’t make me a happy camper.
