My Mac-compatible WindowsMedia (which is one of the few Microsoft programs permitted in my Microsoft-Free Zone) opens automatically when I click a video link.

Good my doesn’t. I even have WMP on my dock and I still have to go through the whole selection/application/WMP/OK process to get it to run a WMV file.

I will admit you giuys all seem to have great computers and I am happy for you, but ours doesn’t work like you guys say yours does. I wish it would. I paid a lot of money for it, it is very pretty and compact and does my wifes pictures well, but as for the day to day use it just doesn’t do anything easy. Everything takes extra steps. Granted we are talking using MS software on a Mac and maybe that is the problem. Maybe if all our friends sent things to us in QT and we had the Mac word processing program etc. things would work better, I don’t know. Even our son who has a iBook, iPhone, iTunes and Apple TV bought a cheap PC for his store use. We tried to get him to buy our Mac with the Office Suite already loaded and he declined saying he had tried that and it didn’t work as well as MS Office on a PC.
