GS: What can you tell us about the HDMI-enabled Xbox 360 rumors that have been going around?
CS: We're always working on prototypes and new technologies and just playing with stuff in Redmond to see what's interesting. I think at the moment we have the widest available connections on the system. If you want to get great HD, I think we've got a good solution for that. In the future it's interesting to see where standards evolve to. I think one of the problems that the whole industry, us and entertainment, are facing at the moment is we're in this world where standards are evolving very quickly.
We have different high-definition standards for discs that we know are competing at the moment. We think HD-DVD is going to be the right way to go, but really it's all about choice in that system so that's why we're offering these sort of services with downloads--skip that whole "format wars" problem. With other standards, audiovideo standards, they're evolving very quickly as well. We're obviously keeping an eye on that and saying, "What are the future standards and how do we give consumers the right choice for that?"
At the moment, everything you might have seen is just looking at our experimentation back in Redmond, not really a product that we're thinking about announcing.

also nix anderes wie die vielen tollen labspielereien die man auch bei vista, ehemals longhorn gesehen hat und nie erschienen sind.
aber war ja eh absehbar, dass es kein HDMI geben wird, ka, wer den quatsch geglaubt hat. höchstens die festplatte für IPTV inhalte, wobei das auch noch amüsant wird, wie die den inhalt der alten festplatte auf eine neue transferieren wollen.
