I installed the boxed set on my laptop. When I tried to view a wmv file (windows multimedia video) using xine, I got the error message that says I don't have all the codecs. I'm quite disappointed since some of the media hype talked about "out of the box" multimedia support. But I suppose they may have been talking about Real Player. It's still a bit of a catch, though. -- Donald D.
