No, the discussion is around web design clients , the majority of whom in my experience run IE6 on Windows XP at 800x600 with the brightness turned up to 11.

Interesting that a "virtual speaker set" won over higher-order Ambisonics (representing incoming audio as spherical harmonics). I wonder if it just boils down to easier engineering.
