    new windows media player...maybe

    I think I think that Media Player 11 is the new player for Vista (which is currently a disaster). Since I tested the newest beta of the 64 bit Vista on my dual core AMD Athlon 64 setup, I will not even touch it...it does get good reviews though! I only NEVER test anything from MS on a...
