Hello HantsLUG people

This came through on the WAMUG (Wessex Mac Users) list, and I thought it
would be of interest here. Apologies if you already seen it.

cheers

A Petition you may be interested in completing (This is from the 10
Downing Street Petition site):

Quote "The BBC plans to launch an on-demand tv service which uses
software that will only be available to Windows users. The BBC should
not be allowed to show commercial bias in this way, or to exclude
certain groups of the population from using its services. The BBC say
that they provide 'services for everyone, free of commercial interests
and political bias'. Locking the new service's users into Microsoft
Windows whilst ignoring those members of society who use other operating
systems should does not fit in with the BBC's ethos and should not be
allowed.

To petition them to release a version for other operating systems, sign

Thanks to Ben Drew for the info
