you can teach IE6 about VP8 by just installing a codec into the system. if that's not done by the IT dept. or your neighbor's kid, you either don't have the need to play back VP8 or whoever gives you VP8 content also tells you how to install a codec.
- zefhous 17y agoMy point with IE is that a lot of content providers don't want to use something that everyone doesn't have access to out of the box. Yes, people can install the codec, but for websites to start using it in a widespread manner it would help for all the major browsers to package it.
