Microsoft has released a Windows Media Player plugin for Firefox. The plugin obviously only works on Windows. "We couldn't respond as quickly as we would have liked to (we had to get Windows Vista out the door!), but now that it's shipped, the team has moved its attention to getting Firefox users up and running. This week we are happy to say that we have a new plug-in for Firefox that makes WMP work once again."

"It's also becoming the preferred way for embedding video on a website, due to Flash being available to a higher percentage of online users than even Internet Explorer."
Sadly, this is true. There are free alternatives available for streaming video, but they did not spread very wide, allthough they might be the better solution.
If used correctly, "Flash" won't be that bad. And it would be even better if it was free. But the best technology, if used inaccurately, can lead to a loss of usability and accessibility. I hope this will change if "Flash" matures a bit. MICROS~1's own "invention" could drive Macromedia to free "Flash".
