Anyone been able to watch the MSN streaming video of Live Earth on Linux? My Debian/Firefox gives a window in the web page that says "(no video)". I'm sure it can be done without Wine but my browser/video player aren't handing it.
The reason I ask, is that I have a suspiscion that Microsft wanted the video to be hard to watch unless you are running Windows. The replay videos will undoubtedly be popular worldwide and only available on MSN Video, which they can make things hard to use with Linux or Mac. And this applies to users all over the world. Just wondering if that may have played a part in Microsoft's strategy to sponsor Live Earth.
Thoughts?
