music with harshly worded threats by microsoft attached. Surely this could not have to do with the fairplay DRM crushing protected. Want to author MS content, convert or manage some DRM? Not happening on a Mac. They aren't there for WMP, QuickTime 7.0.3 is mostly transparent and those jobs are taken by applications like iTunes. If you want a hundred plugins and different ways to manage your media on a mac forget it. This may be because the Application has not only been updated, but received an iron lung.namely a new version number 10, although I suspect Microsoft of misplacing a period somewhere in there. The WMP XPerience on a windows machine is extremely different than that on a Mac. WMP (remember this is theoretically a separate application from windows because making a product with a similar name for the mac proves that fact) could be eloquently described as a full featured rich media abstraction layer and user interface with complete platform independence.if it was Apple's QuickTime. It is rather unfortunate for 'AppleMacIntosh' (pronounced as one word), but fully understandable since WMP (pronounced wimp) has been in need of an organ transplant since it's birth. After a two year hiatus, Microsoft's 'Windows Media Player ' is.well still on hiatus and threatening coma.
