XGL and the future of X Windows

[Paul King]

If you're talking about the AVI file, you have to look for something to download 
(widely available) that will play it. Windows Media Player (at least mine) 
complained a bit, but played it anyway (no sound, but I don't think I missed 
anything major, since it is a slide presentation).

Windows no longer supports the AVI format, though they invented it. That caused 
other hackers to pick up the slack and to keep the format alive. The codecs and 
players have to be downloaded, and yes it should play in Linux.
