My distrust for hardware decoding has nothing to do with speed, it has to do with support. I want something that can play all formats in all containers. As far as I know ATi still don't have support for pixelmapped 1080P in Vista or Win 7.
Ahh what you need is raw power of the CPU then because most things dont support accelerating everything and neither will the new something that Intel will soon release....

Also what matters besides 1080P it has matters what its the bitrate of the 1080P you are watching i have seen differences in disks bitrate wise and it maybe that the WMV is of a lower bit rate.
