Rich,
==> "VIS is arguably 'more standard' since it is based on a version of DOS
and Windows."
Uh huh. And what happens to Mac or Amiga or whatever owners? What about
the 80% of US households without a personal computer at all?
No, again this is another reason why CD-I is preferable as a *mass
consumer* medium. It was designed by consumer electronics companies for
the specific purpose of being a world standard, highly interactive,
*TV-based* system.
Again though, CD-I doesn't (and wasn't meant to) replace CD-ROM. I think
this is what confuses (and perhaps falsely alarms) some people.
