I'm aware there are many open source multimedia tools that will play most audio and video formats on Linux these days but many people have come to like Windows Media player over the years. And while Xine and Mplayer will play most .WMV .WMA files, both of these players use Windows codecs that are copied into your /usr/lib/win32 directory. So if your currently happy using the closed source Windows Media codecs why not use the player as well.
About Windows Media Player 9
Windows Media Player allows you to play audio and video files locally stored and streamed from the Internet. It includes a visualizer, a jukebox, a media guide, an Internet radio tuner, and CD burner.
tom@tom:~$ winecfg
wine: creating configuration directory '/home/tom/.wine'...
fixme:midi:OSS_MidiInit Synthesizer supports MIDI in. Not yet supported.
wine: '/home/tom/.wine' created successfully.
Now select the Audio tab and set your audio driver, I use OSS and set Hardware Acceleration to "Emulation" If you want to run Wine in a virtual desktop now is a good time to select the Graphics tab and set the size of your preference.
At this time we also need to set quartz.dll and devenum.dll to "Native" this is done in the libraries tab, after you have done this select apply and then ok.
Now you will need to get a native windows quartz and devenum dll and place them in .wine/drive_c/windows/system32 and register the dlls with:

This Guide is now depreciated a new Guide based on Wine 0.9.52 has been posted. Please don't use this Guide! The only reason it's still here is for reference
The New updated Guide is here: Running MS Office 2003 under Linux with Wine 0.9.52.
About Microsoft Office 2003
Microsoft Office 2003 (Professional Edition) represents a major upgrade to previous versions of the world's most popular suite of software applications. Office 2003 includes new and familiar products, features, and functionality that can help organizations and their employees connect to coworkers, information, and business processes quickly and effectively.
Advances in intranet collaboration through integration with the collaboration and information-sharing portal, Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003, enable employees to access and share information both internally and externally. Support for information rights management (IRM) and industry-standard Extensible Markup Language (XML) provide a platform on which to quickly build cost-effective solutions that can have an immediate impact in your business and productivity.
This is with a clean configuration directory and running in a 1024x768 virtual desktop.
$ winecfg
Set a virtul desktop if you wish, this is also a good time to set your sound driver. You will also want to set richedit20.dll & richedit32.dll as navite (Windows)
Now install the richedit30 update, make sure you go to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 and rename richedit20.dll and richedit32.dll to *.bak or the richedit update wont work.

I'm aware Office 2000 is considered old software, but if you have a copy laying around and would like to give it a try under Wine here is a easy howto.
This is with a clean configuration directory and running in a 1024x768 virtual desktop.
tom@tom:~$ winecfg
wine: creating configuration directory '/home/tom/.wine'...
fixme:midi:OSS_MidiInit Synthesizer supports MIDI in. Not yet supported.
wine: '/home/tom/.wine' created successfully.

I'm aware Office 97 is considered out of date software, but if you have a copy laying around and would like to give it a try under Wine here is a easy howto.
This is with a clean configuration directory and running in a 1024x768 virtual desktop.
tom@tom:~$ winecfg
wine: creating configuration directory '/home/tom/.wine'...
fixme:midi:OSS_MidiInit Synthesizer supports MIDI in. Not yet supported.
wine: '/home/tom/.wine' created successfully.
Now change the version that Wine emulates from windows 2000 to windows 98. Next select "Libraries" and set ole32, oleaut32, olepro32, rpcrt4, stdole2.tlb, stdole32.tlb as native (Windows) when you add stdole2.tlb and stdole32.tlb your going to receive a warning just say yes and proceed.

If you need to view a Word, Excel, PowerPoint document but do not have the necessary Microsoft Office application installed. You can use one the free viewers provided by Microsoft.
Viewers are safer and more secure than the Office applications because they cannot run scripts or save files. Most Office viruses use built in scripting. As an example, the classic Word virus makes an unfriendly change to the Word Normal.dot template. Word Viewer ignores Word scripting and isn't capable of saving, modifying, or deleting files. As such, there is little chance of trouble when viewed with Word Viewer.
The Viewers are smaller and simpler programs so their able to start up and show a document much faster than a full blown Microsoft Office application can.
As a bonus, the Viewers are free of charge and take up allot less disk space. :D
Word Viewer 2003 :
Word Viewer 2003 lets you open Word 2003 documents and documents created with all previous versions of Microsoft Word for Windows® and Microsoft Word for Macintosh. In addition to Word document files (.doc), you can also open files saved in the following formats:
• Rich Text Format (.rtf)
• Text (.txt)
• Web Page formats (.htm, .html, .mht, .mhtml)
• WordPerfect 5.x (.wpd)
• WordPerfect 6.x (.doc, .wpd)
• Works 6.0 (.wps)
• Works 7.0 (.wps)
• XML (.xml)
