Which will be eaten by other 'built-in' feature of m$ "OS"-es.

Yikes! Of course. For watching movies I need A MOVIE PLAYER. Nothing more ...

Yeppp. And join some movie site and their mailing lists and read mails like
this one: "I can't hear sound with XY.Z file which was downloaded yesterday
by me. I'm using WMP A.B"

Rules. Now I'm using rdesktop (windows terminal server client for unix,
the binary is only 60k :) to log in to a remote windows. Just for show
the power of Linux to my friends. Yessss, I can browse Linux pages with
m$ explorer through a modem. And yes, only some system crash on the winloose
machine during this test. But it worked once ... Rules.

Why? You can enjoy the feeling with WindowsMediaPlayer mplayer skin :)

Why do you want to display them? M$ treats users as stupid human like beings.
Just watch the movie (till a crash), and please DO not think !!

Yepeeeee. Even in dosrun (DOS file locking semi-undocumented services) file
locking operations are ... khmmm ... strange.

+1. Use WMP! And you won't read Gabucino's mails. :) Though I like them :)

+2. Use WMP! And stop advertising m$ here. Just use it.

+3. Next mail in this topic should be mailed to mplayer-flame.
