If it was a simple matter of downloading a file and deciding which 
player you prefered it would be fine.
as far as I can see I need to download files, then compile them etc. I 
just want to watch a movie!. I consider myself fairly computer savy, but 
the average user will no want to be hassled this way, he wants to 
download a program and have it install and then work 123 as easy as 
that. I am sorry but microsoft are a pain in the arse, but windows 
programs are a doddle to install, therefore windows will win. I wish it 
were otherwise.
