It's good to know (altohough not too surprising) that Divx will still work with WMP, but I still think it's absurd to download their 2+ MB player when the codec itself is only a couple of hundred K. It's not a bandwidth or memory issue, it's just the principle. Still, I'll probably end up doing it the stupid inefficient way they now expect.
