I feel pretty much the same way. For all the Linux users that despise
Windows so much I have message for you.

This stuff just WORKS in Windows, period.  Real Media, QuickTime and
(naturally) Windows Media.

Don't get me wrong, the geek in me still prefers Linux overall.

I've yet to get CNN video working.  I've tried it with Totem-xine and
VLC.  I have w32codecs installed as CNN uses Windows Media (why I don't
know, their competitor MSNBC does too).

As far as MPlayer goes, ones it drops it's dated, butt-ugly GTK1
interface, I'll consider it.
