Confirmed: Windows 7 will NOT have built-in support for Bluray playback – only burning
Confirmed by Mr. Sinofsky himself, there will be no native BluRay support in Windows 7. However, BluRay Drive makers and OEMs will be able to extend Windows Media Center to support playback.What will be supported in Windows 7 though, is the burning of BRD discs.
Here’s the email that was forwarded to me from our loyal reader Theodore. I did make a WHOIS check to make sure that it was Sinofsky himself. Location was indeed from:United States Redmond Microsoft Corp.

Hi Steven,Will Windows 7 include support for watching Bluray disks out of the box? Maybe you could make a post on the e7 blog about codec support in Windows 7.Thanks!———-

Thanks. Blu-Ray support will be provided by PC makers or BRD drive makers. We have new extensibility in media center for those that provide BRD playback to support integrated playback. We do have support for burning BRD data discs.

I’m very much not surprised…when Microsoft does something that makes sense, then that’ll be a very confusing day.
Bluray is not a fad, and they should realize that by now.
Windows 7 the best of the best! =)
