How do you suppose microsoft popularizes their formats? Well, they make it compatible with the client already on your desktop and then flood the net with corporate rock freebies (britney spears, et al.), movie trailers, etc.. If you want to beat them at their own game, that client could just as well be Sonique or WinAmp.
If somebody started an entire.ogg hierarchy under alt.binaries.sounds, it would do ALOT to popularize the format. Napster supporting ogg would be a great step in the right direction. You'd really need guys like Sonique and WinAmp to push the format on their sites. The trick is to bring the supply to the source of the demand.
