Just one kind of thought. If Linux doesn't work easily with ATI video
cards, and if WMA this or that won't play properly, or at all, on
Linux, then we should ask: Whose fault is that? Is it the fault of the
Linux developers? Or is it the fault of the manufacturers? The answer
is pretty dang obvious, if you know the facts. 

NVidia cards work great under Linux, because (a) they provide
high-quality drivers for their cards and (b) they support open source
development of drivers for their cards. 

As for WMA files, (a) Linux don't do no DRM, and it shouldn't, and (b)
if Microsoft released a specification of the format for non-DRMd WMA
files, then they'd play within a week or so.

So if anyone wants to complain about these issues, now they know to
whom they should complain.
