Good point on your part. It's basically a problem with the vendors
lacking Linux support. RealPlayer and Flash are relatively easy to
install using the default installers from the website, but the others
just don't seem to care about Linux at all. Basically, not trying to
PLACE blame really, but if it has to be placed, it seems like people
blame Linux for the software vendors' shortcomings. Not saying you are,
but the average Joe Sixpack Windows user.
