In very unsuprising move, Microsoft, has finally joined officially to the DVD+RW Alliance which develops so-called "plus formats" in DVD recordable wars. Microsoft had already strong relationship with the DVD+RW format, since it developed integrated support for the format in Windows XP to use the format as a big floppy (Mt. Rainier technology).
The announcement might help DVD+RW Alliance to change the situation in the market place, where the rival format, DVD-R, is gaining momentum with cheaper disc prices and roster of big Japanese manufacturers supporting the format.
