SO? Get with the program and run windows. 95% of people already do it, why should they spend more money to gain such a small market share?

and to all you fanboys of apple who will without doubt attack this post while they’re drinking steve jobs koolaid, get a grip. Macs are amateur media PCs and thats it. You can keep your overpriced toy.

Seriously, this is exaggeration in the extreme. I view NBC content via NBC.com streams just fine. Why is it not recommended?

The quality is just fine unless you’re already an HD junkie. I don’t even get pixelation on a 1900 x 1200 24″ widescreen. AND NBC.com is still the only major network I’ve been able to access ANY content from via Linux.

I can’t imagine the delay has ANYTHING to do with a writer’s strike or the complete organizational revamp to this new superseason thing. Who cares if they’re delayed? There’s no good new content anywhere for a good while to come.

Contrary to popular belief, this is no longer a “Windows world”. With Apple more popular than ever and Linux up 61%, there are three operating systems now to cater to.

NBC should not “throw a bone” to Mac and Linux users, they should start taking those operating systems seriously.
