Microsoft are developing software that will add support for devices that play Sony's
Blu-ray high definition movie format to the Windows operating system, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said. "We've already been working on, for example, in Windows, device driver support for Blu-ray drives and the like," said Ballmer, speaking at the Microsoft's Mix '08 conference. Ballmer also said that Microsoft is "going to support Blu-ray in ways that are important," according to a transcript of his remarks posted on the company's Web site.
