Microsoft Denies Influencing Paramount’s HD DVD Decision
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007 at 4:00 PM - by John Martellaro
Mr. Kevin Collins, the head of Microsofts HD DVD unit, denied on Wednesday that Microsoft paid Paramount to forsake its Blu-ray commitment and move exclusively to HD DVD.
Writing in the Home Theater forum, even while on vacation, Mr. Collins said, "My name is Kevin Collins and I have worked for Microsoft for the last 14 years working on database technology (Jet and SQL Mobile). I have been involved in HD DVD for almost three years; from the HD DVD Video specification process in the DVD Forum to current promotion of HD DVD features....
"I want to go on the record stating that Microsoft did not provide any financial incentives to Paramount/Dreamworks recent decision to support HD DVD. This type of reporting amazes me and I challenge anyone to provide proof around these statements. They are unfounded and inaccurate."
Mr. Collins then went in his post on to explain in some technical detail why Microsoft has chosen to support the HD DVD format.
"I hope this clears up the misinformation that has been reported regarding Microsoft�s involvement in the Paramount/Dreamworks decision or in the rumored involvement with Warner," Mr Collins concluded.
