I thought Lieberfarb was fired 2 years ago by Warner. We can thank that man for the success of DVD though.

However, I really don't care what Bill Gates thinks about the viability of future disc media. The guy's company can't even make a secure operating system or web browser, and the world is starting to come to that conclusion. Windows is in decline, and Joe Consumer does not care about Windows Media formatted music or the MP3 players that are aligned with Microsoft's digital music strategies. The Motion (or is it Moving?) Pictures Expert Group came to the conclusion that Microsoft misled them on the capabilities of Windows Media Player 9 encoding (VC-1) so why would we want to see HD content in that format versus H.264?
