Microsoft prepping Feature Pack for Storage with Blu-ray for XP and Vista

We’re not going to get back into the Xbox 360 + Blu-ray debate, but Sony’s HD format is clearly on Microsoft’s collective mind, as it’s begun prepping a new Windows add-on dubbed Feature Pack for Storage. The kit’s set to contain modules for portable drive recognition and restriction, ICCD and CCID Smartcard drivers, but most notably an image mastering API for Blu-ray that

enables “master style optical burning on Blu-Ray [sic] media.” Expect it soon on Windows Vista, XP SP2+, Server 2008, and Server 2003 SP1+ — or really soon whether you get in on the beta.
