Vista SP2 Adds Blu-ray Support

Microsoft has publicly released Vista Service Pack 2 as a stand-alone download today, with an inclusion to Windows Update expected within the next few weeks. The big news for owners of the PC-kind is a new feature which allows those users with Blu-ray Disc drives to burn directly to the disc using Windows Explorer.
While Windows DVD Maker still lacks support, you will be able to format the high definition media via Explorer, as well as drag-and-drop and delete files from the discs.
If you're not brave enough to download the file, expect to see it as a pushed update soon.

This will be news when Microsoft (or Apple) actually supports blu-ray movie PLAYBACK without 3rd party software. |

Apple better step up to the plate! Unless some announcement is made soon in support of Blu-ray, they are about to get beat out by MS. |

As ShaggyDude says, this is just for data backup purposes and NOT about natively playing Blu-ray movies. |

This seems like a wasted effort considering the short life expectancy of Vista. It will probably be in place for Windows 7, but should be integrated in any future SP releases for XP. |
