Linux community already adopted vorbis more or less. But compare
average Linux user to the average Winblows user, and you'll see a big
difference. Unfortunately, what rob1 said is true for most Windows
users - it's not finished, I'll keep my hands off it... OTOH, these
same user will use "final" version of a program, which has more bugs
than beta versions of some other programs... (take my mailer for
example - it's a beta version, but the developer could probably get
away by making every third or fourth beta release a new version)
