Since windows depends on the extension to decide what
app to open the file with, it kinda forces us to have
separate extensions for audio and visual files so they
can open in different applications. As other people
have pointed out, it's the way the basic system works.
If ogg is to make it to the big time is has to fit in
with that rather than depend on switcher apps and
other  junk that will simply make ogg too much hassle
to use.

Really? They created this mess in the first place by
making the whole thing revolve around extensions.
