Apple and Google favor H.264 while Mozilla and Opera favor Ogg Theora.
Right, while convenient, that doesn't strike me as a very comprehensive list of "major browser vendors".

Microsoft supports neither, so there's no point in including them. With the addition of Microsoft, you have all the major browsers covered.

Microsoft hasn't commented, which isn't the same as supporting neither. However, considering that silverlight 3.0 is slated to support H.264, I suspect that says a lot by itself.

H.264 will be shipped standard with Silverlight, Ogg Theora/Vorbis currently is not planned to be. Yes, 3rd parties should be able to add other codecs as well if they want as well.
