Believe it or not, the guy's OK. He mostly suffered friction burns from the tires.

But is it worth me downloading WMP? Very likely not. It's getting pretty annoying - the last video links I have seen posted to MacNN have all been WMP files. What's the world coming to?

I will mention Flip4Mac's WMP video player that changes a Windows Media File into QuickTime right on the fly, for display in a browser window or QuickTime Player. They're currently getting it Tiger compatible... I hope they get it done soon!

Why don't you get over it and just download it? It's free.

People either need to not encode in WMV, or M$ needs to release a halfway decent version of WMP for the mac.

About the video though, wtf? The guy in the car looked more pissed than worried that he had just ran over someone. Amazing the types of people out there, I'm glad those people who were there got those keys, I'm sure that guy would have just taken off and ran someone else over later.
