You may remember that a little while back there was a bit of a kerfuffle about the BBC’s decision to go with a Microsoft-based DRM solution for its download service. Initially we were told that only six people and a couple of mangy dogs ever accessed BBC sites with GNU/Linux, and therefore it wasn’t worth supporting, but the BBC later admitted that what they really meant was that the audience ran to six *figures*. The story then was: trust us, we’ll get round to GNU/Linux support as soon as we can. And you know what? Silly old me believed them.
So what do we have :
Today is another significant day for BBC iPlayer as it launches on its first TV platform: Virgin Media.
Totally far-out, man. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BLOODY GNU/LINUX VERSION?
I wonder how that complaint about the BBC providing state aid to Microsoft is coming along….
