This is probably the best analysis of the VP8 situation I've read. One takeaway: if Google wants to make VP8 ubiquitous on the web, it probably could (by leveraging YouTube), but that wouldn't kill H.264.

Like the article says storage is the mitigating factor to adoption by the video sharing companies.
