Windows Media Player 10 Reviewed

Posted by michael on from the mplayer-rules dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Paul Thorrott reviews Windows Media Player 10 and notes that unlike Apple's iTunes Music Store, which offers music that is only compatible with Apple's iPod portable player, WMP 10 will work with songs from virtually any other online music store. There are more screenshots here with a download link." Reader Thomas Hawk writes "I wrote my Microsoft Windows Media Player 10 Review today the first day the software was released and one of the first reviews on the product. I basically give it good marks but there are definiately some things that they can still improve upon." An anonymous reader writes "Since I'm somewhat wary of Microsoft's new software (particularly DRM-laden Media Player types,) I was paying attention to the EULA and privacy agreements provided when downloading the software. Ironically enough, the privacy page linked from the installer (at time of writing) merely said "TODO: Privacy policy goes here". Most certainly an honest mistake, but in the meantime it appears there is in fact no policy on privacy (or it has not yet been taken into consideration) in WMP10."

    WHAT? You mean Slashdot posted a story about Microsoft and mislead its readers from the truth with FUD? Say it ain't so!

    i feel sorry for you dude. because of /.'s messed up karma system combined with retarded mods you're losing karma (for off-topic/troll mods) on a post that has a positive score. i have no problem with funny not adding karma by itself, but it should at least counter the loss in karma from other moderations
