Microsoft announced today that its next operating system versions will support all major recordable DVD formats. Previously company has only supported DVD+RW which is supported by DVD+RW Alliance and partially the DVD-RAM format. The announcement means that upcoming Windows versions will have built-in DVD burning support for DVD-R and DVD-RW.
The move can be seen as a victory for the DVD Forum which has supported the DVD-R/RW/RAM formats and fought strongly against the DVD+R/RW camp. The DVD+RW Alliance is looking very much like a loser in the DVD format war, as its major supporters, Sony and most notably Philips, have introduced (and in Sony's case, are already selling) multiformat drives that support also the "minus" formats.
