HP had made 2 requests to the Blu-ray Disc group in order to implement 2 additional functions. The first one, the "mandatory managed copy", gives the right to copy a Blu-Ray media to a local file server in order to share the content over several computers.
The second request, iHD, was related to the interactivity level of the Blu-Ray contents.
The Blu-Ray Disc group was not very interested by the first request, and totally ignored the second one.
As a result, HP was probably upset, and has decided to take a more neutral position in the war between the Blu-Ray and the HD-DVD.
For sure the Blu-Ray consortium has lost a major supporter.
