http://live.pirillo.com/ - Back in the day Windows Media Player burst onto the scene and kicked ass. It was slick, played a lot of formats, and was the media player.As time went on, however, WMP has become bloated and user unfriendly.ADHD from the chat room heard that Windows Media Player 11 sucks: is that true?Chris believes that the Windows Media Player development team doesn't have their priorities straight with WMP. When WMP 11 was still in beta testing stages he filed several bugs as well as tried to convince them to support RSS.The bugs were never fixed, and RSS has never been supported in Windows Media Player.Should you upgrade from Windows Media Player 10 to 11? If you don't want to then you really don't have to. Everything is pretty much the same, but if you wanted to have an Urge subscription you'll need to upgrade to version 11.Stick with 10, or try an alternative media player.Do you have any suggestions for an alternative media player?Want to embed our Windows Media Player video in your blog?
