I tried it some time ago. On the pro side it supports just about any media stream out of the box, well ok quite a lot. It's a one time stop for RM, WMF and QT media. On the con side I didn't like it's perseverance in trying to install all kinds of additional "gadgets" that I wouldn't care of or wouldn't fully trust with. As nice as it seemed to be able to watch just about every common media format out there, I deinstalled it after a short trial. Didn't test it in Wine though as watching media in Linux itself although not as painless isn't that difficult either. For my Windows box I use Media Player Classic with QT and RM codec support now and that works almost flawlessly. Rolf Kalbermatter
