I would not know. I only know that I promote it to all my male friends, not 
giviong them much of an alternative, since I generally refuse to encode to 
MP3 anymore. I'm a bit cruel in that department ;-). If they can't handle 
it, their loss. The only exeption is when I want certain "special" 
non-computer-savvy women to listen to certain music. Then I can persuade 
myself to encode to the ever so popular format spawned from the loins of 
Satan.

*Sigh* If only Winamp supported Ogg by default.

I guess our best option is to show people how Ogg sounds better than MP3 at 
lower bitrates and how this is a good thing regarding bandwidth consumption 
and general storage space
