Besides the s...l...o...w download speeds (but it's faster in off-peak hours), I've so far found 2 issues regarding playing videos.

No. 1 is that the colors were all messed up...red was rendered as blue. The fix is easy. In Edit->Prefreneces->Display, hit the "Reset to Defaults button, or adjust the "hue" slider to your taste. I believe this is the fix in any of the media players, but not sure. I only had to change it in one of the players & the others followed suit. Easy fix that took a loooong time to find !

No. 2 that I haven't resolved yet is that I can't play .asx playlists from the web. It keeps telling me I don't have the "helper application", but doesn't tell me which one it's looking for ???

BTW...thanks for the info about Oo on Windows boxes. If I ever go back to Windows (looking less and less likely the more I use and learn about Linux), that'll be very useful to know.

And is anyone running X-Plane. Haven't been able to install it yet...but haven't tried with 9.01 yet...it looks like it might be the thing the seals the deal in weaning me from Windows completely!
