The absence of Blu-ray[/quoteIt's almost embarrassing to ask this, but why does Blu Ray on a computer matter?
Software isn't distributed on Blu Ray. I would never watch a Blu Ray movie on a computer. Is Blu Ray rippable yet, for HTPC? Backup to discs is dead; harddrives are too large and cheap.
I guess iDVD authoring to Blu Ray could be cool. Watching Blu Ray on a laptop when traveling might be good. I don't see a use for BR in my personal use; I'm curious how others would use it.
New hardware's out...now I'm doubly eager for 10.6 so I can upgrade my wife's Mac. She gets a new 24" iMac this year (and I get her 20" LCD for my MBP)
