Microsoft, Onkyo collabo includes Windows Rally network technology, cross-licensing
We haven't heard much about Windows Rally since the first device was unveiled earlier this year, but it looks like Onkyo wants to join Microsoft's network connectivity movement. Microsoft demo'd streaming HD between different devices at the WinHEC 2007 (check the video after the break), and Rally should allow many different devices to communicate and configure each other (in theory, its like USB). We haven't seen any home theater hardware using this tech yet, but combined with a cross-licensing agreement just inked by both companies, Onkyo should likely have some Vista-ready receivers, players etc. on the way soon.

So how limited will this be? will it be able to play files in the mkv container?...if not..it is limited to useless...

You really shouldn't expect the mkv container to ever get widespread support. Hell, even getting it working on a Windows PC is a pain.
