meh.

From what i can tell its pretty much just a reskin of wmplayer10 + the option to install their new URGE music service (which i chose not to).

If this is whats in vista i wont complain. Its not at all like the horror that is IE7.

insta-tracking cookie forwarding? a button to enable obstructive flash advertising on ANY page? removed the option to Save Webpage As?

I tried IE7 and almost immediately hated it.

I don't normally use IE6 (I'm an opera guy), but when Opera doesn't render a page correctly, I have no beef about using IE6. I think it's a great browser, as long as you're careful

"Some of the unique features of Media Player 11 are a deeply integrated music library for both online and offline content, a new and improved interface, the ability to connect to additional hardware easily, and integrated, easy-to-use tools for following the process of any task (downloading music, burning CDs, synching music, or streaming video, just to name a few). Media Player 11 has a new integrated feel, too—one that makes online, network, and offline content indistinguishable. Many of the improvements are due to the redesigned interface, which includes simplified trees, helpful shortcuts on the menus and menu bars, and an advanced and improved media library. There are now Back and Forward buttons, giving Media Player a web-browser feel; a lightning-fast WordWheel search tool for getting through the library; and Xbox 360 support. And I'm just getting started! In this article, I'll introduce the features I found most exciting, and features you're going to love when you get your hands on Media Player 11. "

I still use Winamp Lite because I don't use the "New and Improved" features that 3 or 5 offered. I can't remember the way I've changed using WMP since I've started using it.

Anyways, GG Microsoft ... I'm sure you hit your target market/audience with this new release.
