    If that's the only reason to install M$ then try the live cd of 
OverClockIX ( http://overclockix.octeams.com ). I tested that one last night 
and it played .wmv files here. I wish I could remember the name of the ap 
that played them or I'd just say get that player.

    Though, I am a complete newbie at Linux, so you may want to go with the 
answers of others.
