Will Windows Media on DVD spell the end of MPEG-4

Streamingmedia.com: Commentary: MPEG-4 is Dead
While the DVD Forum adoption seems big, I don't think that this one win for WM will mean the death of MPEG-4. In any case, the argument given in this article is interesting.
From the article:
Given the adoption of Microsoft's Windows Media Video 9 by the DVD Forum, there's increasing reason to believe, to paraphrase an old Southern expression, that the MPEG-4 dog just won't hunt. It hasn't yet and probably never will, at least in any serious commercial way.
