| The recent MP3 lawsuit illustrates the problem. Microsoft thought it
| was safe because, like Apple and others, it had licensed MP3 from
| the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany. Along came Alcatel-Lucent,
| the telecoms equipment giant, with some patent claims, and Microsoft
| was fined $1.52bn (£758m) by a US court.

He seems to be unware of the trend...

Ogg Vorbis Gaining Industry Support

| While Ogg Vorbis format has not gained much adoption in music
| sales and portable players, it is not an unsupported format in
| the industry. Toy manufacturers (e.g. speaking dolls), voice
| warning systems, and reactive audio devices exploit Ogg Vorbis
| for its good quality at small bit-rates.
