No argument here about that - I completely agree.

I like the way it offers to resolve the problem by downloading straight
from the MS web site. I click ok, and it takes me to a page where it
helpfully informs me that there are no downloads for this OS and that I
should check Windows Update. Which is where the dodgy dll combination
came from in the first place. Utterly useless.

Tried playing the file in VLC it was the same as Toast ie terrible,
under Windows 7 I looked at the task manager, CPU usage was low so it
appears under Windows 7 the hardware capabilities of the 9400m are being
used which does not appear to be the case under Mac OS.

Try for yourself download this file
http://av.watch.impress.co.jp/video/avw/docs/356/414/00046.mts play it under
Windows 7 with a modern graphics chipset then play it on an iMac even though
it has a 9400m.
