Who's the audience here?

Interesting article with one major problem. The intended audience is someone that has not used Linux before, but the software you note at the beginning (Xvid) links to the source code. Great, but if I am on Windows, never used Linux before, don't know how to compile the Xvid source (and don't have MS VC++ 6 or 7), and just want the codecs to play the videos, I'm pretty much SOL. I am none of the above, but I would have liked to recommend this article to some students that are just learning Linux.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:(
