I don't think you understand what's happening in such cases. If a
website is written to conform to standards, and sends the video content,
linux handles it beautifully. When the website checks to ensure that a
client running their accepted OS and web browser, and denies access if
the client is not said OS and browser, that is against standards, and
what I consider brain dead.

Sorry, but that is just silly. I have no trouble viewing youtube,
quicktime movie trailers, flash, java, wmv, mpg, DVDs or any other
multimedia on my SuSE desktops.

BTW I've got a windoze image under win4lin on my main SuSE system, but
after firing it up initially and futzing around some months ago, I
haven't bothered with it, and haven't missed it.
