To test all steps and to use the feedback from other committed users to make it better? And as mentioned the guide is written for a special use case, playing multimedia on Qubes as I wanted an OS which I can use for everything I'm using a laptop for. > Also as far as my opinion goes, Google > Chromes one and only strong point is the > support of Silverlight content, which is not a > technical strength, but monopolize of pure > power on a free market in a democracy.

And yes it would be better if all content and app providers are offering solutions for "the rest of us", but they aren't and the workarround using chrome is good for everyone who likes to use Netflix & Co. I don't think that sucks. It's better (for some) to use chrome on qubes instead of Windows to stream video content. But yes, if we could use a default Linux installation to do all this task, this would be great. > Firefox will play everything around, as long as > the content delivery isn't scamming their > customers by using platform monopolized > Silverlight. Doesn't make sense to me, as you're saying Firefox plays everything, as long ... The fact is: currently Firefox is not playing all content. And yes it sucks. > Microsoft's hate towards Linux seems as > strong as ever, despite their so called claims > for otherwise. Any evidence for this strong argument?

I hope this is a > mistake. Honestly it was me writing this "self-proclaimed all solution page guide" which took me lots of hours starting from the first version and following the excellent feedback from other users to improve it. Maybe you should provide content instead of being sad that others try to contribute to the Qubes project? Do you know how motivating it feels if people comment on your work like you're doing? The Qubes documentation is done by all of us, if you want to add a section how you can use Firefox to play content, feel free to do so. Make a difference! And if you think Chrome, closed source content providers are the devil, don't use it, but I think giving users options is always a good thing. If my how-to will convince one user to try out Qubes because he can even do the "evil closed source" stuff, I am happy.
