Flip4Mac WMV playback codecs now free

Flip4Mac has been making Windows Media codecs for QuickTime for a while now. They work as advertised: download them, and you can play WMV files in your QuickTime applications. They also make some other products that provide QT/WMV import and export. Microsoft cut a deal with them, and now you can get the Flip4Mac WMV playback codecs, for free, from them directly. This is particularly nice because of the low quality and functionality of the Mac version of Windows Media Player; I hope it means that WMP for Mac will die, and that the engineering effort behind it will be redirected to other Mac projects.
