Perhaps it's time for linux devs in general to think much more seriously about this one. After reading this:
http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/world-domination/world- domination-201.html I come away agreeing on most points - particularly that of media support. Considering the real issues inhibiting distribution and function within Linux are almost all legal-based, maybe it's time to throw some money at the problem. It may sound absurd, but how much - feasibly, would it take to just buy the rights to the problematic codecs/formats/whatever? If this bug is to be solved before Vista becomes standard - or, if Vista isn't as much of a problem as many expect, Windows 64 - then I really don't think there are many options left open. -- Microsoft has a majority market share https://launchpad.net/bugs/1 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
