Didn't realize it worked on Windows.

The situation in Linux, ironically, is actually better than Windows 
these days.  Several fairly good and ad-free video players now.  Of 
course, there are odd snags with using them now and then, not the least 
of which is GNU-ish zealots disabling features that let them play movies 
using non-free code.

Nuts on all that... I... just... want... to... use... my... computer...

I think both sides of the battle have forgotten why a lot of us buy a 
computer: to use it to do work.
