Blu-Ray not coming to the Mac anytime soon

Been wondering exactly when you’d see a blu-ray drive in your new Macbook or iMac? Well, if the emails that have been leaking out from Mr. Jobs have been any indication, you’re not going to see them at all.

In a recent email exchange with a user, Steve himself expressed the opinion that people would be more likely to use content download outlets, such as iTunes to download and view content instead of needing to use a drive built into a computer to view movies and the like. It’s not a terribly strange concept, considering the popularity of media outlets like Hulu, iTunes. In fact, I’d have to agree with Steve on this one. Rather leaving the drive out is the thing to do (it could be used for software or other storage), it might not be necessary for video or other media.

If you’re curious about reading the entire interchange between Mr. Jobs and the user, the email exchange has been posted on MacRumours.

An extension has also been granted to Windows 7 , so that it will get a whole ten years of support rather than the standard five. There's been no announcement or fanfare, except a temporary communication from Microsoft Japan that sets out the… »
