I thought so too.   For some reason my windows media player does not
play avi files. And certainly the zune gadget I just bought seems to be
very restricted in what it plays. I have one laptop that I keep for when
I need windows type stuff, and even then use vlc as a player.
I do have a converter for windows, but would have liked one for the
kubuntu
