Correct. And right now, their path of least resistance is Windows or a Mac.

What I see is that !FOSS is already the easier path.  We can't change that
by refusing to support MP3. All we can do with that choice is make the road to 
open source unattractive because *it doesn't meet their needs*.

Trying to tell them "well, you shouldn't want what you want" is just nuts.  
It's denial.  They'll write us off as kooks, and with good reason.
