My point is that unless you are deliberately trying to put words in his mouth (or simply didn't read the article), that link <i>proves</i> the CTO's point, not counters it. Look at the exact quote from our CTO friend:<p>"...so users and content creators would be thrown back to the dark ages of video on the Web with incompatibility issues."<p>He's not saying the player won't look good or be sexy or whatever, he saying it will throw us back into the times when watching video depended on what OS/browser/codecs you had. This link demonstrates that exactly.<p>Instead of laughing at him and brushing of what he is saying by pointing to some demo that doesn't work in most people's browsers, we should take it as valid criticisms and demand the standards bodies get it together and fix these problems.
