I might go to www.microsoft.com and follow links just in case the url above was booby trapped (there are interesting nasty ways to do this that work for some e-mail clients). However, a more interesting question is whether Media Player 11 is worth having or does it act more like a virus? For those who hold the latter opinion, I would be interested in why and how this is different from prior versions. I believe that all software is weird, including what I wrote. My link was the actual one. I am a beta tester for Vista and WMP 11 is included in the Ultimate version. Its ok but nothing to get all excited about. I like that you can now burn DVD's right from it without needing 3rd party software. Other than that, it seems to be the same. As for Vista...Aero is neat and Windows got "smarter" in fixing things that go wrong. It also has live error reporting and solutions but have yet had a real need for it. Manufacturers are behind on providing drivers for certain hardware as well. The only other down side to Vista is the need for a fairly beefy PC to handle it. I have 512MB of RAM and just get by. 1GB would be best. You also need a fairly new video card to get Aero working. You don't have to have the Aero portion to run Vista but its nice. I have a Northwood/Prescott Intel 3.2Ghz processor and still want more speed, especially when the background services start cranking away when you leave the PC idle for awhile.

Well I'm not an official tester for MS, but my impression of the new Windows is that it conforms to the typical MS way of doing things: Buy a f.cking great big PC and let your coders run riot on it. Don't bother to try and make them make best use of what people already have, just keep throwing resources at the thing until it does what you want.

If you bought Windows, you automatically become an official tester. The only unofficial testers are those running a pirate copy.

Yeah, I'd forgotten that M$ outsourced their testing budget to the "public sector" years ago. > -- > David Haggett > Linux user since 01/01/2003 > Email: david<at>haggett<dot>demon<dot>co<dot>uk I actually like WMP 11. Don't get me started on the DRM sh.t though. And there's no way to remove the Music Store button from the top that I know of. -Larry >>>I would think twice before doing this.

Will. > Windows Media Player 11 Released I loaded this application only to find that it required me to "validate" my computer in a manner similar to the MS WGA setup. I had become used to validating entire operating systems, but this was the first instance I encountered where MS required that an individual application be validated (neglecting Office). This differs from Media Player 10. However that's not why I called this meeting. I have rarely seen cross-posting with such variety and with apparently so little in common: rec.music.beatles,misc.transport.road,alt.usage.english,rec.music.theory,alt.guitar.beginner SignatureGood luck and good sailing. s/v Kerry Deare of Barnegat http://home.comcast.net/~kerrydeare > admin.softwaresearch@gmail.com wrote: >> Windows Media Player 11 Released [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > an individual application be validated (neglecting Office). > This differs from Media Player 10. Anything MS thinks is not strictly a security-issue download has to be validated these days, and that includes most of MS's useful free apps (e.g., WMP and Sync Toy), as well as updates to MS Office that aren't specifically for plugging security holes. Don't be fooled into downloading WGA if you don't want it to call home every 30 or 60 days, as it will.
