Yeah I read something about this in the October MacWorld I think : ) I guess it really makes sense. May as well make the fastest and the best system you can and cut your loses. As you said it pretty much is like dumpimg the DOS system they used. And it will be the same situation the television manufacturers will be in when they eventually have to have the regular broadcast and the HDTV broadcast. At some point a manufacturer will say no more regular T.V. signal just HDTV : )
Here we go...hope they get it out stable and as soon as they can.
