Buy windows mobile 2003 or be unable to view wmv 9 files - why?

[Gavin Maunsell]

I just had to post this.

Since when has a new video codec required a complete OS upgrade??
i'm furious at this.

Why won't microsoft release a patch for ppc 2002 users to view wm9 content? - its disgraceful.

wm9 codecs are free for desktop systems, why not ppc??


anyone have any answers/solutions???

Wouldn't this be a rom update that the OEMs would have to release?

now you feel like a mac owner huh...no chance for free upgrades! JUST BUY!
