There is also the possibility that they come up with a new version for other OSs. They could add features in the new version that make it impossible to play videos which are compatible with the new version with the old one. Once the old version is incompatible, there's no point in continuing to provide security updates for it. Well, there's not point in worrying about it. We'll see what happens. >>>> It's no more than a video which mplayer can play once you can download >>>> it, so what's the problem? >>> >>> None, what problem are you having?
