    WMV9 (VC-1) delayed as SMPTE Standard, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC touted as superior

    Sega was doing fine. M$ convinced them to use Windows CE in the Dreamcast, providing web connectivity and all. Microsoft did a pretty lame job, never really providing much more than beta quality add-ons. But... they got Sega to open the kimono enough that they could launch the Xbox. Sega...
