Um, those other codecs are shit by comparison...I mean you want to 
replace On2 VP6 with On2 VP3...how the fuck does THAT make any sense? 
 
And what the hell licensing issues are you talking about?  I mean, you 
buy Sorenson Squeeze for $250 and you get to encode 50 files a day or 
1,500 files a month.  If you need more than that (which would be more 
than a bit odd if you did), then you simply buy Squeeze for Flash 
Unlimited instead for $1,238 per system per year. 
 
....how much simpler does it get? 
 
....well, unless you're a retard I guess, then it might be kind of 
complicated.  *shrugs*

Um, sorry kiddo, but OpenOffice is WAY more bloated than MS Office:

....unless you're talking about overall program size on the HD...but 
you couldn't be talking about that, I mean...that'd just be fuckin 
retarded to be worried about THAT size considering how cheap 500 GIG 
HDs are.
