Anyone know what Microsoft has done with HDCD? Is it used in any way?

Keith Johnson would know since he currently uses HDCD (which he invented.)

I'm aware of both & just bought a few(10+) more Reference Recordings as they had a 25% off sale in September-a great deal for such excellent music. However I noticed you used Wadia w/o HDCD so wondered about your interest in HDCD?
