Which conveniently can't be viewed on my G5.
Ironically, Mac WiMP will play it (it's playing now on my dual G4). More
ironically still, the URL they mention comes up with a 404 (and the site
appears with the Apache default), and they're using OS 9 and earlier
windows to diss OS X. Regardless, it seems rather more vulgar than witty.

Please don't link to that URL - put it on your own webspace and don't

I've played wmv files via mplayer under Linux before now - afraid I
don't know if there are all sorts of wmv variants and mplayer only works
with some of them, though.

mplayer, shmemplayer. I guess I don't view a lot of random video clips
done with $codec_of_the_week.

Evidently not. I, on the other hand, do quite a lot of stringing huge
packages of TIFF files into AVI files. There is some horrendously
expensive software out there that does this badly, and mplayer (and its
partner mencoder) that does it really well. And you don't even need X.
