Finally downloaded a download manager to get it all. Played like crap on WMP, the sound was fine, but the vid was really broken up. So I tried it with the ATI File Player, the video was perfect now, but he audio broken up, but still understandable.... 2.0Ghz, 512Mb, AIW 8500DV.

It seems that the video is very reliant on the cpu. It only runs marginally better with my new 9700Pro. Why is it so demanding exactly? Is it just because of the quality?

Considering that MS have been known to e-mail viruses, crash more PC's than anyone else, and spoofing a URL is pretty easy, plus that doesnt resolve to a MS Page and only downloads an .exe, yeah. I'd say it's unknown. Unknown enough for me to leave it alone, and i'm on a mac, most viruses won't even affect me.
