[Ti] Windows Media Player for OS X

[Erik Gaderlund]

And, now Microsoft has put in DRM, which only works on a Windows 
machine, which is probably why the EULA isn't quite as scary for the 
Mac version.  I've been trying to play the WMV9 compressed HD off 
their samples site, but, not even my dual 1.25GHz is fast enough to 
play even the 720 streams.  There's an 'HD' version on the second T2 
DVD in the latest Special Edition set, and you can get the 'samples' 
disk from Microsoft that has some of the BMW films.
