That's exactly the attitude that will make Ogg Vorbis fail. And we all lose if it fails. It should be our responisibility to do as much as we can to help Ogg and any other open standard succeed. Come-on Ben, get with it. You're beginning to sound like a Microsoftie. Me, Me, Me. And if you would do a little research you'd figure out that a lot of apps do support Ogg, and many more will in the future. The more it's used, the faster it will be accepted as a standard. Where would Linux be if everyone said "Give me some stuff that uses Linux and I'll switch"?
