Universal Flip4Mac coming soon (Today!)
People who want to play Windows Media files on their Intel Macs can rejoice, eventually. That's right, Telestream, the makers of the very cool Flip4Mac which enables Quicktime to play Windows Media files, have posted a note on their website. It basically says that they are working on a Universal Binary and they hope to release it within the next few weeks.Update: The real story here is that the Universal version of Flip4Mac (2.1) is available from Microsoft right now. Go forth and download. Thanks, Andy!

I don't think you can compare the development times of two completely different pieces of software.
How is it that Parallels Desktop was developed and SHIPPED in far less time than it took F4M to make a universal binary?

Waiting waiting waiting... I think thats been there for a good 2 months. Hardly news worthy. Where did you get the beta from? I would love to demo it...
