You know, I am sick of hearing about how iHD is easier to program than BD-J. Get over it! We heard the same belly-aching from webmasters when Mozilla Firefox started to get popular. "Oh, its too hard to code my webpage for both IE and Firefox; I'm just going to code it for IE".

For those programmers who rely upon this crutch to artificially prop up Microsoft's iHD format, I say to you that you deserve your jobs outsourced to Indian programmers who will do the job without complaint or sucking up to Redmond.

As for the article's assertion that HD-DVD devices require two decoders for simultaneous PiP decoding, how about swapping those two weak-sauce Broadcomm decoder chips for a decent Sigma Designs, Nvidia, ATi, or Cell chip capable of maintaining 1080p decoding/output and doing as such with H.264? Same goes for the Blu-Ray camp as well.
