Official answer:

The proportion of non Windows platform users is not worth effort to support
them.  WindowsMedia allows for easy content creation, encoding, broadcast,
administration and works on servers I have easy access to.

In the future, if you would like support for your workstation platform, please
feel free to donate the media encoding and distribution software, encoder
workstation, backend servers and network infrastructure plus onsite help to
configure these machines.

bunch of technoGeeks but several of them nevertheless had to spend several hours
on this project on Friday making sure that things were set up. Major props to
them for pulling it all off.
