Right, okay, I definitely haven't bought a new computer in the past 5 years. I wonder if anyone has "how old is the average computer" percentiles, because I have a feeling most people haven't bought a new computer in the past 5 years, so it seems surprising to supercede a codec after so few years, but maybe I'm the weird one?

It will take years more for it to get adopted by hardware and content vendors. However in order for that to happen the software needs to be available so that people can start to experiment with it. It's a chicken and egg situation.
