Point taken. I had a decent look at the Media Library, and while the layout, etc, wasn't as good as iTunes, it was, as you said, leaps and bounds ahead of Winamp 3.
A lot of people out there want to organise their music better.
Why would you have such a bulky looking program as WMP 10, which doesn't organise your music.
Sure, iTunes is bulky, but it is truly intuitive.
I made the switch from Winamp 3 to iTunes just before I bought my iPod, and havent looked back. WMP 8 has been collecting dust for ages.
There needs to be a decent reason to warrant downloading this update, I just see it as a waste of time, not just to clutter your screen with more ads. Sure, Microsoft may be planning on organising data better in Longhorn, but how many years away is that now?
Let me tell you a story about the "freedom" the country down under has. Grand Theft Auto 3 was released and then recalled.
It was re-released with Region-Specific Censors on it. In the land down under, we can't get the hookers to get into the cars with us.
There are ways around it. That's your choice, whether you choose to patch the EXE, or whether you *shudder* change the Regional Settings, or whether you leave it as is, it's your choice.
It also goes for the gameplay. You can do minimal illegal things to complete the game. Then, you may choose to keep on the straight and narrow and drive around the city, or fly if you can do this, or you can slaughter millions of people.
Either can be fun, it's your choice.

So Hailstorm's failed?
I was a little scared about Hailstorm from what I read.
