Windows Media Player in Linux

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the options-if-you-want-em dept.

mr lee writes "Today CodeWeavers released CrossOver plugin 1.1 which now supports Windows Media Player 6.4 under Linux. As much I would not like to see or support sites that use Windows Media shite, its still really nice to have this option. Not too mention kick ass QuickTime playing." Update: 02/27 18:30 GMT by H : I've actually been using this - it's done really really well. I'm planning on doing a fuller review soon, but it's very well done.

  1. All the swearing in stories by Steveftoth · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Was mr lee the only one who submitted this story? Or was his the one with the most profanity in the story? I expect to see profane comments, not stories. /. allows passive agressive statements twords companies that are opposed to linux, but can you please keep the swearing out of the stories?

  2. Microsoft Bad, Apple Good, Linux beyond question by rtphokie · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Is it even possible anymore to see something on Slashdot involving Microsoft, even indirectly like this one, without a dig at Microsoft? It really hurts the submitters credibility.

    Many of the Linux propagandists on /. remind of people I've worked with who use a single programing language (such a C++) for absolutely everything they do. OS's are no different, none is right for every job.

    These are things you learn with experience.
