Battle of the Format Wars!

Dear Commons Community,

Over the decades, those of us who dabble in technology have seen a number of battles between company X and company Y compete for a market share by developing their own media formats.  Among the more famous were the VHS/Betamax, CD/MP3, and HD DVD/Blue-ray.  I stumbled upon this website which gives brief summaries of the ten more famous format battles.  It is an interesting and quick read.  See URL below.
