Linux users were cut out, as were Mac/PPC owners." Can you imagine how many lawsuits NBC would get into if they made it a world-wide coverage? TV stations in other nations who paid to get the the broadcast right would angrily find out they lost ratings because of NBC's free online coverage. Also how do to insert commercial in there if the audience is from all over the world. As for Linux, let's face it: Linux users should have abandoned the ship long time ago when the market share remains under 1%. PPC MACs. If Apple themselves decide to stop frying egg with that overheat PPC, I guess it's OK for anyone else to skip it too. But then coming from JD/ADOBE, you'd expect that kinda nitpicking when Flash is muscled away on the summer grand stage. “only later people realized this was a US-only deal.
