Just as OS2 was superior of NT4.0... Hey... that's nonsense... most 
portable players just play MP3, WMA, WMV, MPG and AVI. The others are 
rare, expensive and have exotic interfaces... Not to talk about the 
digital sound systems that we have at home, at our cars, etc... Try to 
play OGG/Theora in your DVD player at home... Try to play OGG/Theora on 
your PS2... That's not educational problem that's practical problem...
