2656 conrad lindeLinux although behind windows and apple in terms of numbers of people using the respective platforms, represents a much higher market share than the bbc imagines/supposes. I hope that this petition will help the bbc recognize this fact. As an equal opportunities company i would hope that the bbc would not prejudice against those trying to redress the windows monopoly or enjoying using a different computer environment for whatever reason, by being user friendly only to certain operating systems and not others... here's to raising Linux awareness... Cheers!

2659 AnonymousI use Linux in a dual boot configuration, but I only use XP for game play about once every two month or so. I have also learnt my family the virtues of Linux.

2665 Pete RylandLinux user since 1994, UK resident since 2001, 1 server, 2 desktops, 3 laptops, 3 handheld/mobile devices and a media centre in the household all running Linux and all used to access the BBC website from time to time. To be fair, I don't really need iPlayer as I already have MythTV.

2673 Jonathan GregoryLinux use is only going to grow. To ignore it would be short-sighted regarding future development of the BBC media player,

Auntie Beeb are you listening,,,,,,,,,, or is it the sound of Mr Gates Wallet thats more important than truth honesty and integrity,

2688 Tim AngusThe rise of free software is inevitable. Embrace it (and other platforms) now and save yourself the pain later.

2691 Zachary VoaseYeah, I go on BBC and I know I'm not 0.25% of all users who run Linux! Someone needs to seriously review their /var/log/apache2/access.log!
2692 Colin MacDonaldWhat about BSD users? Or BeOS? EQUAL RIGHTS FOR AMIGAOS YOU M$ SHILLS!!!!!!!111!
2693 Anthony GardnerLinux equals freedom and NOT vendor lock-in. I'm sure you use Linux as servers, and am 100% sure you use FOSS technologiies. Maybe you should give something back to the community.

2695 WaylandI don't think the BBC should be concidering Linux users, nore Apple users nore Windows users. The Internet should be operating system neutral. The BBC is funded by us licence payers so should not be promoting comercial interests such as Microsoft and Real Networks. It annoys me that Windows Media Player and Real Player are the only options, why can't I just use the player I want.

2697 RikHi I'm a converted Linux user as no longer can I afford to run a Microsoft inspired PC. My Linux P.C is brill and cheaper and I heard it is more enviromentaly friendly too. My wife uses it, my best mate andhis brother. I am also going to use it at my church and work as its free! Shalom Rik
2698 Stuart CunninghamWrong about the number today, and even wronger about the number in the future.
2699 Justin WareI use the BBC website virtually every day from LINUX and have done for years!
