apcmag.com— No more trawling the web for the latest media codecs. Windows 7 comes ready to play all your favourite "downloaded" videos.

No, actually he's right. Call me when Windows is UNIX based and has gotten rid of the registry and all the other FUNDAMENTAL DESIGN FLAWS that cause all the security leaks.
Ive tested Windows 7 and it has VERY BAD HD playback, despite the new codecs. And yes, even with installing my own codec pack I can still only run one single hd video properly.I can run at least 4 (thats all i tried) on OS X simultaneously at better framerate than the single movie in Windows 7.Sad but true.

I'm just saying it's too buggy for a primary OS.

DivX is crap. You people either know nothing or you're caught up in Microsoft's web of mediocrity.

Define "Really excited". Everyone I know is going Open Source for Office apps and OS. Microsoft = FAIL

@pikelet: Mine stopped working a while ago with an older version, but once I took AppZapper to it and installed the latest it magically came back.

You need to separate the DivX player from the DivX codec. They are NOT the same thing.

Wrong. At least the beta doesn't. I've also tried Divx Codecs from Divx and a vista codecs pack. Doesn't work!!!!
