How come we don't see Quicktime/Darwin Streaming Server stuff on commercial sites too often? It's open source (i.e. free), and is very easy to setup. What is the problem? Does it not scale very well.

QT seems to be the solution of choice for non-streaming video content, but Real/Windows seems to have streaming pretty locked up. Why is that?

Completely wrong. The MacWorld keynote had almost 100,000 users, on QTSS.

Actually it was DSS, because Akamai reflected the streams, and they use DSS on Linux.
