Fun With Disc Burning in Vista

[Xiahou]

Give it a few months and it will be supported in Linux...

Still though, it seems totally pointless to bring out a new CD format in this late stage of the technology... unless of course you are trying to lock customers in!

Yeah, that's just it- no doubt someone can/will reverse engineer it for Linux ect. But, it's still a bad precedent when MS makes defacto standards by foisting them on customers.

When MS subscribes to standards- good. When they make up their own "standards" and try to trick consumers into adopting it- bad.

Wait, so this is if you're burning stuff with Vista's built in software?

Correct. I know that most knowledgeable users will use Nero or some such, so it's not an issue uber-leet-haxor dudes will run across. My concern is for the Aunt Millies and the Uncle Jethros of the world. They're going to be burning their films of their poodles onto a non-compatible MS-only format. And they're gonna blame the rest of the world.
