    Michael must be about to post a story with an assinine one-line editorial attached.

    People in real jobs often have to perform cost analysis, which usually includes a study of potential client demographics, etc. This is how they make money for their companies, and how they keep their jobs. I assure you that a little bit of sound research based on industry facts goes a long way.

    So, if 99.2% of everyone they expect to visit their site uses Internet Explorer 5 or greater, has Macromedia Flash installed, and thus, has Windows Media Player as well, why *wouldn't* they use an MS-only solution if it's cheaper than the alternative.

    Last time I checked, people running GNU/Linux as their only desktop operating system, browsing with the Phoenix Web browser, and encoding/downloading all their music in *.ogg format were in the minority rather than the majority of computer users.

    So think before you flame the seemingly anti-Free/OpenSource software crowd. Capitalism and free-market enterprises, whether you like it or not, are the norm here in 21st century America.
