Just to update this...

Quote:

The BBC has been threatened with a complaint to the European Commission (EC) over its contoversial use of Microsoft technology in its upcoming iPlayer.

Advocacy group the Open Source Consortium (OSC) has attacked the online video service as anti-competitive as it will only initially work on Windows-based computers.

The BBC said a while ago that other platforms would be supported. In actual fact I saw recently a list of programs on the BBC website for other platforms which include Amiga.
