Well it's a crapload better then flash.

Still depends on Microsoft's proprietary codecs, but oh well. At least playing videos won't lock my browser every 3rd video.

I hope those wonderfull folks down at the FFMPEG project won't have to difficult of a time extending existing WMV support to the new stuff.

Maybe if we get lucky this will inspire Adobe to open up their own stuff so that people can start doing more interesting and usefull stuff with flash that extends beyond advertisements, 'artistic' splash screens for websites, and playing low-fi homemade videos.
