There is a download of an ogg plugin to get WMP to play ogg files. I tried it, but it doesn't work on my vista machine
See: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/ogg.htm

They used it because it's free and open source. Vorbis is used in quite a few games.

If you're interested, check out the wikipedia article.

Any decent mediaplayer will play Ogg Vorbis out of the box . I use Foobar2000 in Windows, it's freeware and easy on system resources. Guess everyone has their favourite...
