I wouldn't. Some .WMV files have DRM schemes that will immediately go to retrieve licenses. Some of those also have ill intent, and will install spyware or browser hijackers. If the file seems way too small for what it should contain, beware. The results cannot be good. That's all in XP, though. I've tried to open the same files with xine, and I just get an 'encrypted file' error. Mplayer plays severely scrambled video.
