You should really check out Ubuntu. I just fired up the package
manager, and entered 'wmv' in the search box. Among the 16 packages
were two full media players that support wmv, among other codecs.
Installation is a matter of clicking on a checkbox to mark it for
installation, and clicking the big 'Apply' button. Yeah, that's
really tough for an 'average user'.
