I think they cover some good details that folks might have questions about, and they come at it from a user perspective, so that's a valuable approach.

Just my 2¢ of course.
HD-DVD is a proprietary format, VHS was a proprietary format, Kindle's AZW format is proprietary.. just about anything new is proprietary. So why does that have to be brought up as an issue?
