Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer has stated that the company will now support Blu-ray, the winner of the next-generation DVD format war.

“We’ve already been working on, for example, in Windows, device driver support for Blu-ray drives and the like, and I think the world moves on,” said Ballmer at Microsoft’s Mix08 internet conference.

“Toshiba has moved on. We’ve moved on, and we’ll support Blu-ray in ways that make sense,” he said.

Ballmer did not discuss Blu-ray specifically in conjunction with the Xbox 360 - but this seem to back up reports from The FT that Sony’s US president has confirmed the two companies are in talks on a hardware deal.
