Quoting kaet:
In a bizarre statement, the BBC's head of technology claims only 400-600 UK linux users use the bbc websites, to justify his laziness with iPlayer platform dependence. I know that's nonsense, and just to prove I'm not barking I've set up a quick petition (not so much a petition as a name collection) here. Unfortunately the software is a bit crappy, and doesn't ask for your address, or anything, but it will at least be interesting to see if we can find 400-600 people just through our friends and families, :).
It's good to know that keepers of the public purse have such vague grips on reality.
PS, pass it on.
