We are going to be coming out with a Windows Media stream of the product, as well as all of our other "to-come" streaming video products.

After some basic market research, about 50% ppl hate quicktime, and 50% hate Windows Media player.

Quicktime benefits / drawbacks:
* some ppl cant get it to work, usually because they dont have version 5 installed.
* some ppl hate apple ;)

Windows Media benifits / drawbacks:
* external codecs like divx means video often wont play without downloading an external codec
* it's been buggy. sometimes ppl can't get video to play, but can hear sound. usually a codec issue

So there's the scoop! I'm not anti-quicktime, or anti-windows media, in my opinion they both have their benifits and drawbacks, them's the breaks! But our extensive product enhancements have resulted in wicked broadband feeds!
I am one of those 50% that hate quicktime.

But did have the chance to view the videos and they are great.

Can't wait until you get the media player option set-up
