Hi,

The BBC's head of technology, Ashley Highfield, in making excuses for the
iPlayer, claims that only 400-600 people access the BBC website using  
Linux!
A petition was setup to help assess how wrong he is. If you access  
www.bbc.co.uk using GNU/Linux, please sign up.

Here's the article where he justifies a Windows-only iplayer because Mac  
users are only 5% and Linux 400 to 600 people out of their 17 million  
visitors.
