m Updating information about playing Windows Media files in QuickTime
Line 27:
With the components installed, any QuickTime-compatible application is able to directly play WMV content. This includes the official [[QuickTime Player]] by Apple as well as countless third party players. WMV Player also allows Windows media files to be associated to QuickTime Player.
 
On 2006-01-12, Microsoft discontinued support for [[Windows Media Player]] for Mac OS X and began distributing a free version of WMV Player as Windows Media Components for QuickTime on their website [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/flip4mac.mspx]. As of June 2015 there is no longer a free version of this application offered.
