With all of my rejection of .wmv files combined with my hopes for a single CODEC, I have learned that the number one reason to provide .wmv files is for people who do not have the authority to install on their machines.
Many people at work do not have access to install. Also people in lesser developed countries often sit at cyber cafes and can not install software from there either. Most of these people are on Windows and can by default play .wmv files. Its a lesser option, but often the only option. On Nov 17, 2005, at 3:26 PM, Share wrote: > thanks Josh.
