I don’t like it personally, it seems like it’s being changed for the sake of it. What does it add that the MP9/10 didn’t have?

They could have used some of the time wasted in developing(?) that and used it to get a few more non-critical patches out for XP, get rid of a few of the little bugs.

Weird. I don’t think so, but I don’t have MSN (only Trillian).

Does the new version of WMP have anyhting to do with MSN messenger, because ever since i downloaded it, i cant sign in to MSN messenger nor windows messenger?

Pretty sure it’s a visualization. I just stole the screenshot off of Microsoft’s site. lol

And yeah, I do like it a lot, but I have three beefs with it:

It takes forever to close. After I click “X”, it takes like 5 seconds to actually close for me.
In fullscreen mode, there’s no top bar with a close button or anything. I only use WMP for video and always fullscreen (on my 2nd monitor) and I hate having to come out of fullscreen mode when I’m done watching my TV show.
I miss the slide in and slide out of the fullscreen controls like in WMP10. It was a cool look.

Since I don’t actually use the media library or anything, I’m debating on wether to go back to WMP10 or not…

I’ve been trying it out for quite a while; it’s awesome!

Just one question; is that a visualization or a video?
