Shouldn't they be trying to get new costumers?

Its always easier to keep a customer than to make new ones.

I can watch it on my Windows PC...Firefox 4 (beta 4), Windows 7 Professional.

I do have iTunes 10 installed, so that could be why. Who knows, but it's definitely working

Double meh... Lets show off our products to our own customers only?...

Locking people into to having to buy your product to use your services (video streaming or whatever) is a reasonable idea. But locking them into to view your adverts? Thats a bit silly...

Edit :

Ignore my remarks, didn't realise you could view it on windows.

Looks like QuickTime is the only requirement, which it works on both Windows and OSX. Under Linux it ran quite well in Totem, so I don't see any problems on this end.

If Apple does decide to lock down its presentations to only Apple devices they'll do nothing but hurt themselves since I'd say most iPhone, iPod, and iPad users don't use OSX on their primary computer.

I can watch this one on Windows 7 with firefox 3.6.8.

Looks like you need QrapTime installed to view it.

maybe only when it is live you cant watch it except with apple products.?
