Ballmer: Microsoft will support Blu-ray
"We've moved on"
7 March 2008 17:13 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott
Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer has stated that the company will now support Blu-ray, the winner of the next-generation DVD format war.
"We've already been working on, for example, in Windows, device driver support for Blu-ray drives and the like, and I think the world moves on", said Ballmer at Microsoft's Mix08 internet conference.
"Toshiba has moved on. We've moved on, and we'll support Blu-ray in ways that make sense", he said.
Ballmer did not discuss Blu-ray specifically in conjunction with the Xbox 360 - but this seem to back up reports from The FT that Sony's US president has confirmed the two companies are in talks on a hardware deal.
