MSN Video

The online streaming video sites are gaining popularity (youtube, google video, etc). I just happened to look at MSN Video and surprisingly it requires IE 6+ versions and Media player 10 to display the site.

http://video.msn.com/

It does not run on Firefox!!!!
But the interface is real cool and the categories are well organized. Far better than clumsy google video. The only problem with Microsoft is whatever product that they come up with requires the user to get tied with other products of MS (ultimately boiling down to Windows OS).

if you want to visit http://video.msn.com/,u should be using Windows OS. And the site cannot be accessed by users sitting on Linux or Mac. Revenue of google is only thru' advertisement and now everybody follows the suit of google, including MS. MS will loose its consumer base if its sites mandate requirement of one of their other products.
