1. Why don't you download Quicktime?

2. It's got the worst codecs of any major video format.
It's made by Microsoft. Whoops, I'm repeating myself.

3. If you are having trouble with Youtube and Google videos...
then download the Flash plug-in. You can either go to the Adobe site itself or your browser may have link to where you can install the plug-in.

Otherwise, just download the needed codec at doom9.net.

The problem with WMV is that it isn't cross-platform friendly. If MS decides to not support the player or codec for other operating systems then those users are SOL. The Quicktime or .mov format works for everyone. :)
