My opinion on that is that if Microsoft intend to deliver this service in a way that *is* accessible to all users regardless of platform and in a free format then all power to them. I don't hate Microsoft any more than I hate other monopolies but I do hate (and actually fear) the fact that this content won't be available to me unless I am forced to change my technology choices. Of course... we all know that Microsoft isn't going to deliver media in Ogg format in a way that can be accessed by any browser. More the shame ~sm _______________________________________________ Fsfe-uk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-uk
