They say that, but their track record is terrible in this respect<p><a href="http://tensquirrel.blogspot.com/2010/04/blog-post.html" rel="nofollow">http://tensquirrel.blogspot.com/2010/04/blog-post.html</a>
It's an attack on Firefox.<p>By ensuring H264 is the dominant video codec they shut Firefox out of the competition, because Firefox cannot implement a non-free video codec.
So is this a strangely delayed slap at Theora, or an early shutdown on Google's VP8?<p>Since they do that annoying corporate thing of not naming the competitor I don't really know what to think.<p>edit: I've been wondering why Flash was getting slammed by both Apple and Microsoft in posts that pit Flash against H.264, which Flash supports with hardware acceleration. Does this mean Apple and Microsoft know, or believe, that Flash will soon support VP8?
