I have seen Theora being used several times, but the fact is that according to the project itself, it is still alpha software. My general understanding is that alpha == not quite ready yet ;)

Note: I would love to see the Xiph.org formats used more. One problem I personally have is dr.dk (can best be described as the danish bbc). They use a Microsoft solution and that of course doesn't work that well together anything but MS Windows. Considering the fact that everyone in DK with a TV, radio or a broadband connection (rules changed recently) are required to pay for it (it is a public service station), it should be a requirement that they offer solutions that works for everyone. The problem is that there really isn't any good open source solutions available currently.
