Yeah... But seriously, I am just tired of all these competing formats. It's too much for a consumer to expect to keep up with. I really don't want to waste space and possible memory overhead installing all this stuff. That's why I stick with a single media player and whatever formats it may support. If I decide to move on to a better player, I ditch the old one.
Fortunatly at least some formats seem to be winning over others. Unfortunatly, one of them is Quicktime. I really have no issues with their format, but the player insists on being memory resident and I insist on removing it each time it puts itself there when I start it up.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
