OT: OnVP7 -vs- h.264

Was looking over the broohaha of On2's announcement of their VP7 codec and touting it as superior to h264.

Since much of what I do is created for the web, I was surprised to find that a frame grab comparing the two - from my eye, the h264 codec looks much better - and with Adobe announcing support for h264 from now on in their flash player - I wonder why On2 thinks their's is a better solution??
This image shows the side by side comparison:

Any others have opinions on this recent development?
