You didn't really mean to say THE standard format did you?  You probably
meant something more along the lines of 'a possible standard for the
storage of multimedia objects in a homogeneous Microsoft Windows 
environment.'  That's certainly a large market, but there are probably
still a few people around who are interested in multimedia on Macintoshes
or Amigas.  Perhaps they are even interested in being able to exchange
multimedia data across multiple platforms.  I know I'd sure like to see
that be possible.
