"Desktop Linux is almost soup. We only have a few items left on the short list. Will we do it? If history is an indicator, the answer is yes." Read this article at LXer. Read more for a short list of my personal needs before I could say "yes, I can switch to Linux or FreeBSD full time".

I run MPlayer on my computer at home.
I downloaded it back when Mordorsoft's WMP for OS X was so far behind, it wouldn't play new WMP files at all.
I got about 80% good results. The other 20 percent of the time I got picture but no sound, or sound and glitchy picture.
I was reasonably impressed, but still frustrated. But, finally, MS has an WMP player that works with the current codec, and I'm back to playback that works 100% of the time.
But, were I somebody who needed reliable WMP playback to do my job ... I'd have reservations about going MPlayer only.
