| "The plug-in itself, according to Colin Teubner, an analyst at Forrester
| Research, is not open source. "I think most people in the open source
| community will see this as a pro-WMP move, not a pro-Firefox or pro open
| source move by Microsoft," he told LinuxInsider. Microsoft, Teubner
| speculated, has evidently decided that market dominance of WMP is not
| enough to drive market dominance of Internet Explorer , previously the only
| browser with embedded WMP. Therefore, to keep WMP as the dominant media
| format for the Web, where it is threatened by Adobe Flash-based video,
| Microsoft needs to make sure WMP is not limited to just Internet Explorer."
