Get it here.. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/window ... fault.aspx

From what I have heard, it still uses the winmedia 9 codec, just a different player, which also allows you to shop online music stores in-player.

The problem with newer versions of software like this is that they have more control over your computer!

It's ok, but yeah it's probably not necessary. One thing I would really not install is SP2. Bad news from what I've heard. Wouldn't surprise me if the "necessry" win update also comes with some nice microsoft spyware!

If I could, i would move to linux, but the fact is I have too many windows programs right now that I paid a lot of money for.

I installed it, have no problems.

Dont really want it - I don't have an urge to listen to music as much, so when I need a song, I just download it , or get it from a friend.. that is if I ever need it..

I only use WIn Media Player for movie files. Use Musicmatch Joukebox for cataloging all my songs.

microsoft spywere, SP2 actually increased my preformance of my PC...so i like it...but i got an early version of it tho, that doesnt effect firewire cr**, i saw a post bout that, and i had my cousin tim come over with his cam, and his firewire thing, worked like a charm....

You should really update your pc. There are a lot of virus patches.

I like quicktime better.

U.S.Amateurfilmaker · Post by **U.S.Amateurfilmaker** » Fri Sep 03, 2004 8:03 pm

the player is ok, but quicktime format sucks compared to the compression to quality ratio you get with win media files.

I3lade203 · Post by **I3lade203** » Sat Sep 04, 2004 1:32 am

Yeah, but most of the stuff I download is in quicktime format, so thats why I use it.

Plus, practically everyone can view a quicktime file, even a Mac user!

Truggy · Post by **Truggy** » Sat Sep 04, 2004 6:07 am

even a Mac user!

Let me take this opeprtunity to rant...

For all the mac users who are constantly asking people to recompress their stuff to quicktime... hear this...
