No, they do RealMedia too.
The BBC got slapped for just doing the MS thing.
I think they are looking at Vorbis for sound because of MP3 royalties.
To the left were 2 more "Linux links".
Anyway, I apologise on behalf of my country for the MS horror.

Hey, whadya know.. I had to increase my font size to notice it but you are right. I can play either format on my Linux box. The RealMedia format actually works directly in Mozilla/Linux if you have rp8 installed.

English people not funny? Where do people get that idea?
Monty Python
Mr. Bean
Black Adder
Are You Being Served?
Red Dwarf
Waiting For God
And likely hundreds of others that I've not seen. English humor (or humour) I feel is superior to Americans' idea of comedy.
Whereas our worthless sitcoms have become diluted to the point of being a bunch of cloned shows, the British just get more absurd... which is GOOD.
Americans see absurd, bawdy, or insulting comedy as bad... why? Because Americans have been sold the "products" that American TV sells. Oh, and nearly everything on American TV sucks.
American shows that are/were funny
Who's Line Is It Anyway? (An import no less!)
Mystery Science Theatre 3000
The Drew Carey Show (Drew and crew are obviously fans of English comedy)
And that's it...
Okay, rant over. Short version: England = cool. America = boring.
