Microsoft plans now include 720p, and 480p........................ ijumpstart.com Based on statements from Microsoft officials last week, the company has clearly changed its tune and now considers 720 progressive an acceptable format. Mundie himself said, "We expect that [720P] to be a very low cost feature of standard PCs that have digital tuners going forward." At NAB last week several Microsoft officials were seen sporting buttons distributed by ABC, which read "720P is great for HDTV." That's a far cry from words echoed just three weeks ago at WinHEC when Microsoft CEO Bill Gates referred to 480P as HDTV. Dave Marsh, the company's technical evangelist for TV and video, said 480P was the best alternative for Digital TV because it allowed content providers to use the rest of the digital spectrum for data services.
