RE: HTML 5 drops open-source video codec

Honestly.. why do we care what Apple wants to implement? They have a very very small percentage of the market place for web browsing. Firefox has already implemented Ogg...it is the second largest browser base. Microsoft is just not going to do anything quickly, so when Firefox starts pulling away more of its marketshare...it will move to Ogg as well. Unless the H.264 becomes free from its patent issues by then.

Apple is completely not a factor here. They will create whatever proprietary locked down solution they can for any problem as they are always looking for the most closed way to do things in order to create more and more lock in for the 8% of the PC market out there using them.
