  1. Where's the "play" button? by chrysalis · · Score: 1, Troll

    WMP10 is bloated like hell.

    Start it and you got tons of flashing stuff everywhere and tons of buttons.

    Hey, the main purpose of such a tool is to play media files. Even finding the "play", "stop" and volume buttons is now difficult.

    That's getting ridiculous.
