The majority of video compression formats do not support windows

So what?

If you don't trust WMV files, you shouldn't ever open any web
browser.

You don't have to open a browser; WMV files will do that for you
whether you want it or not.

You are missing the point. First of all, WMV files won't open a browser on
my computer; if you choose to allow that on your computer, that's a choice
you have to live with.

Secondly, my comment about not opening a web broswer was simply addressing
the fact that you have the EXACT same vulnerability when playing a WMV file
(if you've chosen to expose yourself to that vulnerability) as you have when
surfing the web. A WMV file cannot do anything that any random HTML page
can't do. If you feel insecure playing a WMV file, you should feel insecure
navigating to any web page.
