As expected HD-DVD drive works with Vista

360 Insider reports that the HD-DVD drive works fine with Vista. They hooked it up to a PC running Vista RTM, and what do you know, it recognized the drive and it installed without encountering any problem. No messing around with unsupported drivers like the recent XP workaround. Here’s how it went for them. Click on the thumbs below to get a better look. Go through them from left to right, it’ll make sense that way.

The annoying part is that there is no HD-DVD playback support built into Vista/Media Player. To add insult to the annoyance, when you double click the drive, it launches WMP. But you can’t play anything. 360 insider also reported that they havenÂ’t been able to locate any HD-DVD playback software and they assume that it’ll take proper drivers to get things running smoothly.

We’ll update you guys when more info on this matter surfaces in the coming days.
