    Hmmmm I guess it's better for you to READ what you said:

"Windows Media asf/MPEG3" - Try it, focusing on the "MPEG" part  and and not
"Windows Media asf".

    MPEG is not a trademark neither a creation from M$, and it is widely
available for any OS.

Did you see that?  It looks like a new term has entered the language.

I am so proud.  Thank you, Jokka; that is precisely what I wanted it to
mean, and I didn't even realize it.

1. Red hat becoming illegal?

My understanding of the US legal system is miniscule, but check this out:

http://www.upside.com/texis/mvm/ebiz/story?id=3a1c16e71a4

"An agreement called "one source." They have consolidated their entire sales
strategy around Red Hat Linux"

In essense, agreeing not to sell any other Linux dist aside from RedHat.

http://www.siteofthesentient.com/inframe/sherman.anti-trust.act.html
The Sherman Anti-Trust Act:

"Every contract, combination in the form of trust or otherwise, or
conspiracy, in restraint of trade or commerce among the several States, or
with foreign nations, is declared to be illegal."

Isn't this what MS was accussed of?

Granted, Dell is just one OEM, but still...
