Sony has about as much to do with blu-ray's success as Microsoft has to do with HD-DVD's success

Pick your poison.

I'll take Sony, thank you very much. So will Disney/Buena Vista, Lionsgate, MGM. Warner and Paramount are neutral. The only one firmly in Microsoft's camp is Universal, but look for that to change over the next year.

Really, though, the enemy is standard definition. Look what happened with that SACD vs DVD-A war. We early adopters were so caught up in the minutiae, we ended up with lossy downloads. If that happens with video it will be a real shame.
