Too bad. I have a few dozen of those somewhere in the depths of my basement.

Even today's SoCs still include support for VC-1 decoding; I bet WMV is supported in all kinds of things that have come out long after WMV stopped being a mainstream format. Anything that plays Blu-ray obviously has VC-1 support.
