ClaMs, you don't know what you are talking about. If you are using iMovie, sure you don't need WMV. But if you are using Sony Vegas, YOU DO. Vegas Movie Studio ONLY EXPORTS in WMV regarding "delivery" codecs (I am not talking about intermediate here).
Why the heck would you export in an intermediate codec, and then in a delivery codec in order to be compatible with the AppleTV? These are TWO exports, not one. Instead, if AppleTV itself was supporting WMV, ONLY ONE export would be needed, not a gazillion ones. So yes, IT IS up to Apple to recognize the needs of consumers and get it RIGHT.
