However, firmware is a far more necessary evil than enabling Windows Media file support.

I don't think firmware is really software, and media codecs obviously are. ~spot _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
