MS Releases New Media Player Firefox Plugin

Posted by kdawson on from the windows-only dept.

SilentChris writes "Microsoft today released a new Media Player plugin for Firefox that resolves the problems users of the older version were experiencing. According to the company's Port 25 blog, it's backwards compatible with Windows Media Player 6.4. The plugin is for Windows XP and Vista only, but if you have to watch WMV video at least it's less likely to crash your browser."

    technical support is not available for much open source stuff too . and if the proprietary stuff would really be better , there would be less need for technical support . It basically how Microsoft works . they release stuff they know is buggy , so there is more need for technical support .And it has worked out very well for them .
