Red Herring on LINUX & Apple's QuickTime ; Wayne BlockBuster Hunz. liked SJ's demo Seems open source led the way to LINUX QT on the INTC platform . No mention of QT on a PowerPC LINUX platform : ===== " Linux developers were able to access the software's source code after Apple released it as part of its new Mac OS X Server software under the Apple Public Source License in mid-March. This allowed the code to be freely altered and distributed. There's no word on whether the software will work on the Microsoft's Windows NT platform. "The idea of the open source environment is that people can take this formerly proprietary code and port it over to whatever platform they want," Cutter said. "I don't know if anyone is doing that for NT." The company issued a statement that the new version, 1.0.1, of the streaming server software "doubles performance" to 2,000 simultaneous streams per server. In actuality, however, only 800 concurrent streams were added, up from 1,200 in the original version. The client version for viewing QuickTime 4 has been downloaded from Apple's site 8 million times since 26 April. wired.com ===== No NT version but there is an Windows 95/98 version . Now with a LINUX , Windows and Mac OS option QT is pressuring RTNW . Wayne (BlockBuster Video) Huinzinger viewed a PIXAR session at the Sun Vally conference and saw the value of good (QT) downloads .
