Hi,

I'm a bit curious - why do you consider changing from WMV to Flash important
for Linux or Firefox users?

Last time I checked, most Linux distributions could play neither WMV nor
Flash movies out of the box, but software to do both is available for free.
Software to play WMV is even available as free software (e.g., mplayer)?
Or am I missing something?

I think we have a much, much, bigger problem with sites (the most notorious
are the banks) which instead of using ordinary links and (if they must)
standard Javascript, use IE-specific tricks. You can't get around these
problems by installing any additional software...
