Microsoft and Broadcom announced at CES in Las Vegas that they would be cooperating to develop an HD-DVD system that costs less for manufacturers to produce than current solutions.  The idea is that this should make integration of HD-DVD into household electronics and computers more affordable than it currently is.

The planned platform will use Broadcom's BCM7440 chip for the HD-DVD playback with Microsoft's Windows CE 6.0 software to run it.  Lite-On and a few other manufacturers have announced that they will be using this platform in their HD-DVD devices.  Your move, Blu-ray.
