I'd disagree. Grab any random person off the street and ask if their MP3 player will play MP3 files.
Then ask them if it will play AAC.
Truth is, most don't care. They just want it to work, and MP3 has way greater recognition out there than AAC does. The benefits of having better sound are negligible...and probably only applicable to the sorts of folks who spend time on websites like this one.
MP3 vs AAC 256kbp vs. 256kbp "censored" vs. "non-censored" 94 cents vs #1.29
For those who care about the "clean" tracks, it's still 3 of 4.
Of course Apple still has the edge with the iPod community, and perhaps ease of use. But no one should be fooled: this is very good for the digital music marketplace.
Apple updates it's retail databases, the news gets spread from one end of the web to the other.
Dell and MS marketing execs probably spend many a sleepless night trying to figure out how they can come up with something with nearly the same cost to value ratio.

It was in the application space that Novell lost it's market and mindshare to Microsoft.
>>BetaNews has learned that Thursday's leak of the Windows 2000 source code originated not from Microsoft, but from long-time Redmond partner Mainsoft.
The leaked code includes 30,915 files and was apparently removed from a Linux computer used by Mainsoft for development purposes. Dated July 25, 2000, the source code represents Windows 2000 Service Pack 1.... Clues to the source code's origin lie in a "core dump" file, which is left by the Linux operating system to record the memory a program is using when it crashes. Further investigation by BetaNews revealed the machine was likely used by Mainsoft's Director of Technology, Eyal Alaluf.

In this capacity, Ms. DiDio focuses on desktop and server operating systems,with a particular emphasis on Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, Active Directory, and Novell, Inc.'s NetWare.
I love the linux wins like everyone else, but IMHO Linux can now be comfortably called 'mainstream'. With that, announcement of every win no longer seems necessary...just the really groundbreaking ones.

Now THATS flamebait.
How is the above flamebait?
Apple is unlike any other tech company in the way news of it's new products gets spread.
It's modern marketing miracle.

Tell them to use Skype.
I type something in and it spits an answer back at me.
As long as that answer is in the first page, usually the first three items listed, people simply will not care about the backend technology.
MS and others will brag about the vastness of the numbers of matching items they can find; most people only worry about finding one or two sites.
This is going to be a big non-event...mark my word.

Probably "Former" Director of Technology.
In this era of XP's, OS X's, GNOMES and the like, I tend to think that it's time for a new, slightly more marketable name for the product.

Really--what information is so important for them to get from the above parties? If was soooo important, they would have issued the subpoenas by now.
IBM's actions are grounded in fact; SCO's are in the ether...
The latest version of Knoppix will now allow you to save files on offline storage.
