Hehe. Right on all counts about Microsoft. OTOH, they just sold 200,000 copies of Windows 3.0 in three weeks. Not a shabby job. But no, Microsoft is into DVI. Digital Research is more into CD-I. There are at least 200 companies licensed to make or create CD-I players or titles. There are several times that licensed to create DVI titles. But DVI is a computer peripheral, while CD-I is a home standalone player. So CD-XA is intended to merge CDROM, DVI and CD-I, by having standard audio/video files usable on all computers/players. The audio format already settled on is CD-I's, btw. That's why I brought up CD-XA and the Sony/Microsoft connection. A player that adhered to CD-XA would be in like Flynn. Unfortunately the CD-XA standard hasn't been worked out yet. In any case, I would assume CBM is keeping a eye on it. Maybe not an issue yet.
