Paul Thurrott suggests that that the CTP release of Windows Vista may include support for Blu-Ray technology, although it’s denied by Microsoft who states it’s the responsibility for other developers to include support for that technology since Microsoft is providing the platform itself.
“There are still no plans for any development work on [Blu-ray] from Microsoft,” a company spokesperson told me on Wednesday. “Since Windows is a platform, they expect companies to provide [Blu-ray] solutions for Windows Vista.” The company pointed me to work that Cyberlink is doing with its XP-based Blu-ray video editing, playback, and disc-burning solution as an example of the type of third-party products it expects to see for Vista as well.
