Answer 7

Blu-ray is supported, HD-DVD isn't (except for X-Box)

Answer 8

Blu-ray packs data into a tighter single spiral on the surface of a disc than HD-DVD. That means a single disk can carry more digital “pits” – the tiny zeroes and ones that are translated into audio and digital content when a disc is played.

That means that a Blu-ray discs can carry more information "per layer" (or, if you like, "spiral"). But it also makes the two formats incompatible.

Both will play standard DVDs but the Blu-ray system will be more expensive than HD-DVD would have been.  For those that make comparisons to the videotape war of the 80s it is worth realising that Betamax was far superior in terms of picture and sound quality!
