Wake Up, Redmond!

Ah well, here's to the big surprise. Microsoft missed the bus again, just like they did with the Internet. Well, this time it might just be too early for them to get up and they might wind-up get some flakes and caffeine before running of to support open standards. Err OK Miicroosoaft and standards, yep I know, they just don't get it.

So what happened this time? If you're into video, broadcast or webcast stuff you may already know that there's a group called ISMA, the Internet Streaming Media Alliance. And big M? They don't!

The ISMA was founded to make sure we're all on the same page with video and audio broadcasting in the future and today. So for Microsoft employees I'll slow down my writing speed now a little. Tell your bosses to get sane and join in this time, instead of fucking up with a proprietary format that no ass on the planet can play, at least not the people it is intended for, the content creators! What happened last time MS tried out the video swing? Yes I mean their pitiful attempt of an HD video codec that actually works and has good image quality that got rejected by almost every industry professional around.

Yes, now you have a chance to catch up with the times.
