workaround

Going by this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coherence/+bug/338963, it would seem to get Totem's upnp plugin working you need to sudo apt-get install totem-plugins-extra

going forward

I admire Miguel's stance. At least he's open minded and reaches out. He see's the good in the MS behemoth.

If he fails; a bunch of trolls can feel good about themselves, maybe some lame patent infringements get served, and worst case, Miguel could move on to a new OSS crusade if he wished.

If he succeeds; he scores a potentially major slice of mindshare for the OSS team. Heck, maybe MS will even learn you don't have to be an insular bully. Seems worth the risk... ?
