"Today [14-10-05] just so happens to mark the third birthday of Microsoft's Media Center Edition of Windows XP, which is likely why the company is rolling out a major update to the MCE product. Dubbed Rollup 2, the update is available to current WMC customers via Windows Update. Will you want it?"

I can't say about the situation in USA, but in Europe Linux Media Center's are a non-issue.
No legal issues what-so-ever and there are many guides how to create your own LME.
And wma-files aren't all that common. Especially not on DVD's. I still have to find one with wma-content.
Member since:
if you see ads poping up on a wma file this can have a couple of reasons:
-there is advertising in the media file
-you have no clue and filled your mashine with adware
-you have a bad case of braincancer and are hallucinating
i don't see where wma has an influence on any of these points. there are (at least on the european market) HDTV DVDs with wma encoded films. so if linux doesn't support it, it is obviously an disatvantage. of course, that is the fault of the content sellers, but who cares realy? lack of media support -> no good media desktop.
