They've said the same thing about Vorbis and 10 years later there's still nothing. I'm with Google on that one. MPEGLA will just keep the FUD going for years like they did with Vorbis. VP8 has already been in use for years by Skype and many

It's a beta presentation, relax. You can find on youtube many failures that happened on Steve Jobs presentations too. I'm sure the final version will work just fine, just like any google product.

Microsoft whitelists all codec but h264 on IE9, so allowing VP8 is a sign of support, not very strong but quite a bit. Also remember that first versions of windows XP had a similar kind of support with mp3 until it started shipping with it

Don't forget that this is written by a x264 dev, so not very surprising that he concludes that his codec is way better. Is there an analysis from a less biased source?

He also says this: > VP8 is definitely better compression-wise than Theora and Dirac, so if its claim to being patent-free does stand up, it’s an upgrade with regard to patent-free video formats. Sounds to me like he has no clue yet, an

Yeah, I could understand that if Microsoft was a dying company but last time I check they are still making billions record profits. So why? Because salesforce is doing integration with google apps?
