    Shuttleworth Interview

    The Ubuntu Fridge says that Mark Shuttleworth was interviewed by More4 News. Unfortunately the video requires Windows Media Player. How do they expect Ubuntu users to watch this video?

    Heh... and the video is called "Taking on Microsoft" apparently. Now there's some pretty stiff irony for you.

    *wonders if interview's any good*

    Maybe we'll be able to watch it in 5 years.

    On a serious note it would be nice if there was a version that uses a decent video codec...

    Use the Mplayer plugin for firefox. It works beautifully.

    I can hear it, but it does not show any video, at least not on my AMD64.
    By the way, the link to the fridge:

    VirtuAlex, the reason is because you don't have the windows codecs installed.
