How do you solve the chicken-and-egg problem of users having windows
software on their PCs? You don't, you offer a satisfying alternative.
I'm still waiting for my movie collection to be released in Theora, and
my car to understand Vorbis. You're working on that, right?
While I understand (and to some extent, agree with) the principle of
boycotting anything that would force you to deal with non-Free stuff,
that's not very realistic in the grand scheme of things... especially if
you're asking converts to throw out their existing media collections...
their existing hardware... their brand-new $25k cars ;-).
