There are some MSFT folks involved with WMVHD/Corona that talk over at the AVS Forum, so they're definitely getting feedback from the consumers. Just as long as we don't scare 'em off, we might be able to have an effect on the future of WMVHD, and maybe even HD-DVD, since Corona is supported by the DVD Forum.

Good things about the Coral Reef disc: DRM is no longer "phone-home" like their demo (60-day limit), or T2:EE. Included are both a 720p and 1080p (yes a full 1080 lines) version, although minimum specs for the the 1080p version are something like P4 3Ghz, 512MB RAM, and 128MB video card with Fast Write enabled. Some have reported they can use media players other than WMP9, such as Zoom Player, and that in fact it may be easier on the CPU.
