There's an interesting OSS angle to this story, about video formats
(and not interactive Flash apps).

Microsoft's next IE will support H.264 only, not Ogg, and Firefox
apparently will not yet support H.264. If true, this is going to make
things tough in our OSS-fueled race to HTML5 and freedom from Flash.

 Is the real story here that video codecs have gotten so complicated
that there's no possible way an *effective* codec can avoid using
patented techniques?
