I'm sure that some/several products will offer a player with driver that will do ok in any version and bit architecture, the unsigned driver situation shouldnt kill it, all this furor is just more media noisemaking, and quite frankly diminishes the value of news of this type.
What i want to know is.. how many people out there have a computer hooked up to thier HDTV monitor. I have been doing that for a year now, my Westy 37" 1080p is monitor 3 of a 5380 pixel desktop, and so far i have had no problems playing anything, and dont expect to have issues later on either.
BTW the WMV-HD codecs are really good.I have made quite a few HD 1080p shorts with it and its perfect. And Zach is quite right... i have AMD 64 X2 running it all - dual Nvidia 7600 with dual DVI and its all good.

IMHO STFU on this driver thing.
