BAD HARDWARE WEEK

After Sony's delay of PS3 for November, we have now competitive HD DVD format delay.
Is this one the latest delay because delay of Microsoft's Vista OS with HD multimedia support?
On the hardware side of the equation, its clear that Toshiba has simply dropped the ball. Had the company met its original dates of September 2005, HD DVD would now have had a six month head start on Blu-ray and been able to establish its format as the HD leader. (Details on the often delayed Toshiba HD-XA1 and HD-A1 HD DVD models.)
