they've heard of XVID, which is on all their comparisons (ones I've

o-p-e-n-s-o-u-r-c-e. You are right however, it is atrociously doze oriented. Let's hope M$ comes up with their new operating system that is going to monitor all media played... then all these great (but not-yet-in-the-fold) people can switch to to the light side of the force...
