I saw several such weird 'factoids' like that in the article. So many that I took the lazy way out and just closed the tab.

jdixon, you need windows servers for streaming Windows-format audio and video. Otherwise you're right, any ole file can be dowloaded from any ole server.

OK, that makes a lot more sense. The article did not specify streaming. I suspect even streaming could be worked around, but I doubt it would be worth the effort; and given the company involved, it might not be legal to do so.

Since when? All you're doing is storing the files on the server to be downloaded to the browser. How does that require that you use Windows as the host OS?
