Windows Vista Build 5231 Review
An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft has just released a new build for Windows Vista and it looks like Microsoft has made quite a few graphical changes. "This is possibly the only application with more anticipation surrounding it than Internet Explorer 7, if not Vista itself. We wonder if Microsoft would bundle Windows Media Player 11 with Vista exclusively or would it be available for download separately for Windows XP as well. It most certainly will end up looking a lot better (graphically) than most music players out there, iTunes included. Although it appears to look pretty straightforward, the interface has changed drastically, which makes it far more attractive than Windows Media Player 10 as well as competing applications."
I get timeout errors.
Just as you would with Windows Vista! See, it really is a demonstration copy!

...a software company releases unstable development-stage software that looks different than the previous version, and may continue to change as the code progresses! News at eleven.

Anyone willing to say that wmp is better than itunes is looking for a tongue lashing from the mac crew.
Also the fact that he didn't even slightly deride windows vista (aka windows longdelayed) would mean that he would be in for a grilling.
After all who cares what a buggy, security hole ridden heap it is as long as we have some nice transparency effects!
What will you actually get :
(needed) manages your albums
Manage the RIAA's albuns and checks to see if you have raided any ships lately.
(pretty) gets album cover to display so you can visualize
Gets the covers of RIAA's albums to display the ones it thinks you should buy next.
(good) manages your preferences/statistics (you can see what you are listening to)
And send them to the microsoft's marketing department, probably to be shared with RIAA.
(pretty) presents those informations in an aesthetic way
In the form of an ad.
(good) or just gets minimized to the systray
In the form of two or three more tiny icons.
(good) all operations are two to three clicks away.
That will be monitored, for your safety off course. Fear the big bad terrorist.

damn, does MS have no shame, the windows look way too much like OS X. I wonder if Apple is going to wait until Vista is released to sue MS out of existence.
