My previous post seems to have been slightly misguided. I was sure I read somewhere that MS bought Flip4Mac, but I can't seem to find anything now to back that up. My bad.Friday, April 27 2007 @ 01:24 AM PDT

There is a business deal between Flip4Mac and Microsoft. Whether there is an ownership interest, I could not speculate. F4M is not exactly a gentleman -- it wants to sell you its "Digital Media Tools" software. I think they inked a deal with MS to get better access to the implementation specs for the Windows Media format in exchange for providing this free playback software.Friday, April 27 2007 @ 07:27 AM PDT

Flip4Mac used to charge $10 for this. After they made whatever deal with Microsoft, the player became free (and they offered a $10 discount on their "Pro" version to people who had paid already for the player -- a gentlemanly thing to do I suppose :-) ).Tuesday, May 08 2007 @ 10:57 AM PDT
Microsoft is a gentleman? That's new. :-) - Jeronimo2000
As far as I know, MS bought the developer and continues releasing the software. Ok, it's nice that it's free. But I wouldn't go that far as to call Steve Ballmer a "gentleman"... :)Reply to This
