And works fine for ma also. Do you have Flip4Mac installed? It had me update my Flip4Mac. It's a Windows site and uses all Windows Media Player movies. You need Flip4Mac on OSX to play that media.

The videos don't work for me either! (Read below :) - works now!) I have flip4mac installed and upto date. I can right click on the black video window and "save as source" - then playback in quicktime.

Update: Click on the window you are interested. A pop up video window will appear - just double click on the black background and the video will play!

I'm not surprised by the results. Vista has had tons of bad press and IMHO it's not really as bad as most people make it out to be. I've used it and not had a single problem. If it wasn't for the fact that I run Windows through VMware and it takes up too many resources from my older MBP, I would probably use it. (Getting a nearly free copy doesn't hurt either)

I think for the average user with capable hardware it's a good OS with good features. Of course, it's on OSX! But people are too quick to judge and base their decision on nothing more than what they hear rather than trying for themselves.
