We're not Hapi with Havi

摘要

On the surface Havi (Home Audio/Video Interoperability) is a geeky set of obscure technical standards. In reality it's a major offensive by Sony, Matsushita and half a dozen other consumer-electronics giants to shape the future of your living room. On the defensive: Microsoft. It has a rival plan to take control of your TV set by pushing Windows ce and a Havi-incompatible alternative known as Hapi. (Home Application Programming Interface. Cute.)
