I thought HD/Blue Ray was a done deal but Jobs doesn't like Blue Ray You're correct HD is dead and buried and Jobs doesn't like the licensing issues with Blue Ray. I think the question was why there isn't a Blue Ray drive with Macs.

HD DVD was killed off a couple years ago. All the PC vendors are using Blu Ray now.

>>I don't understand. I thought HD/Blue Ray was a done deal but Jobs doesn't like Blue Ray<< Yes, the market battle between HD DVD and Blu-ray is over. Blu-ray won. I'm not sure why Jobs still hasn't come around on Blu-ray, unless he just doesn't like the licensing terms. It is true that Blu-ray still has very limited market penetration.
