Ah yes, Microsoft... A perfect example. The folks at Channel 9 make a big deal about how they're just a few guys with cheap video cameras. Their goal of creating a warm fuzzy feeling about Microsoft is great, I'm sure some people even buy into it, but it would be cool to see them promote videoblogging as something any Windows user can do, and provide all the information that Freevlog does, aimed towards Windows users. I'd consider that giving back to the community. > This may seem trivial to a group made up primarily of Mac users and Linux > hosting accounts, but the reality is many of the companies who will do video > blogging long term use Microsoft server products.

Companies still use servers running Windows!? ;) Pete -- http://tinkernet.org/ videoblog for the future... ------------------------ Yahoo!
