What an amazing example of preaching to the converted.
... and that's 95% of computer users who don't care.
They don't care about Windows users as much as Windows users don't care about them so I'm not surprised.
Fair play Apple

Only the faithful and pure may witness the miracles performed by the messiah!
...and they'll all pre-order whatever is announced, whatever the price.
iPaperWeight. This changes everything.
Pre-order yours, for just $399.
Can't they just use adobe flash... </joke>
Well they know the people who are too intelligent to buy there products are too intelligent to believe what they say (hence them not owing said apple products).
Targeted marketing and all that.
Good news - Apple news and rubbish being kept to the only people that care...
Bonkers. He's even alienating his own customers! Surely if you're presenting new kit the people you really want to be able to show it to are your own customers who're using old kit, not just your customers who have the latest and greatest iWhatever.
Well in their defense, it's not like they are using a quicktime only closed standard for the streams - its an open, published standard..the problem is that no-one has picked it up yet apart from apple.
From what I read its supposed to be very good at streaming video in high quality, so there is some limited justification here. That and from Apples POV its only going to be mac owners who they need to be able to watch it (ie mac journalists and reviewers).
It is a bit silly really as there are plenty of half decent streaming standards they could have used, but meh people would have criticised whatever streaming method they chose.
Anyway, you can watch it on any iOS 3+ device (so thats previous 2 generations of them) or a recent mac, i'll have it on my iPhone later methinks
edit anyway there is an MPEG2 stream available here:

Limited in that you would have to refresh the stream to get the latest "chunks" but it is there..
Yes that why MS don't allow silverlight or its codecs on the mac... oh wait.They don't care about Windows users as much as Windows users don't care about them so I'm not surprised.
Fair play Apple
I don't know why they don't just broadcast it in flash like 90% of the web anyway
throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)
Read the article again, so even people that have a one year old Mac and haven't coughed up for the latest and greatest iteration of OSX can't see this? Wow, that really is arrogant.
