You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

Linux is all about open source and Free Software. Do any of us want to use
software, from Micro$haft or not, which implements DRM? I certainly don't.
I've managed to survive so far without daily fixes of M$-specific and other
proprietary file formats, and I don't see why I shouldn't continue.

In short, I think having WMP ported to Linux is nothing but PR. Nobody will
actually use it.
