Damned Windows Media Player

Can anyone tell me why Windows Media Player (version 9 for OS X) always decides to shit on me:

Windows Media Player Has Died

It really doesn’t matter what I do with it, after about two weeks after I install it, I get lots of these “Windows Media Player has crashed” error windows whenver I try to open a WMV file from the internet.

VLC tells me this when trying to play the same files that crash Windows Media Player:

main: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `undf'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.
main: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `WMV3'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.

What’s the deal? Why can’t I watch these media files Microsoft?

Any idea Mr. Scoble? Think you can ask the Windows Media Team to work on this?
