And win32 is a de-facto standard for desktop development APIs. Point?

I'm glad to see that blip.tv offers an alternative; I'd be satisfied

fox3.1 (assuming they get similar adoption as with ffox 3.0) around
20% of web users will have ogg support, and presumably they have some
ideas around publishing content.
