Seriously, reading the comments, they seemed to be bent on finding fault than discussing the article. The popular websites of tomorrow are small websites of today. If small entrepreneurs can't afford flash and an open alternative exists, then the open alternative will be used. When more people use an open source project, there will be more developers working on it. Take a look at Photoshop and the Gimp. Everyone wants to use Photoshop, but since it has a high price it is either pirated or replaced with the Gimp. It's a very simple argument and does not even say that the open source alternative will become more popular, just that the pricing scheme can hurt adobe in light of open source projects to be. The lack of providing cheaper encoding will force people to find another way.
BTW in response to a previous post that missed the point of the article, I'm a linux user and I LOVE OGG! I almost always use Vorbis and I use Theora when I can.
