Windows Media Player in 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.

    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.
