You believe everything a company says about its self? The term 'quality' 
is a very subjective matter, both are lossy formats so who can truly be 
the judge? From what I see, the main pushers for the O.V. format are 
those people who are always upset by 'corporate America' like those that 
push open source, like yourself... and the tilt of the mind slants just 
one way in most of the 'open source' community.. I never said ogg was 
bad, just said it was not as recognized, therein lies the problem.

I'm not afraid... I have Winamp...  Why should I be afraid? Have you 
been seeing black helicopters in my area? Are you afraid? My cats seem a 
little nervous...

I bet you have protest signs, all made nice with glitter too! What you 
speak of is the free enterprise system that we all know and love, if 
Bill G. didn't make products that worked, and we all bought them, he 
would not have succeeded. Nothing makes people more jealous than 
success. The hippie culture was all about free and sharing too... but 
look at some of them now in BMWs and Mercedes convertibles, they 
wouldn't use a drop of their chai lattes to put out their mother's hair 
if it were on fire. Just look at Woodstock's commercialized comeback...


> And I don't use windows (i use linux), and I don't have a wma encoder.

Yah, I thought that little penguin guy was cute until I realized that if 
I want to run the most software, and be fully compliant with my clients 
and friends, then I had to use what I use. Anything else is just being 
stubborn.

BAN?? What?? Are the shadow people back? I do the research Mr. Linux...  
I do audio for a living. I was merely making a suggestion, you took it 
as an insult and then went on a tirade about Microsoft for some reason.. 
just like all the other open sorcerers...

Have a nice open free day.
