A lot of people on this list will argue that this or that distribution

Mandriva 2007 does all of the above in their free version as well as play
Windows video formats like WMV
PS: If you are into high end computer games, Linux probably will not be
a viable choice before 2010.
If you define high end games as Quake, Doom, Jagged Alliance and the like,
there are Linux versions already and have been for a while and more will come
as more Game Devs move to OpenGL.

least as far as mainstream (non Linux) publications are concerned.
While I didn't mention any games specifically, I did mean those, and
Half-Life 2.
