Yes, I hate it!

As:

1)Cant find half of my music.

2)Even when I do they've split it into weird looking album thingys

3)Looks nice but is very buggy.

4)Asked for access to the internet at the weirdest times.

5)Probally part of Microsoft's evil plot to take over the world.

6)...Hated it, loads of people have had problems downgrading too.

7)Hate it

8)WMP 10 is better!

Thats just my opinion, I hate it!!!

Cheers :)

WMP11 has a nice GUI to it, it has a slow shutdown to it also. I only use it to view things and play some songs since it has those visual affects.

I give it an 8.5

What about the DRM? Does it come with DRM inside it, or does it super-effect CD ripping, etc?

Only thing I've found that I don't like is that it splits some of my albums into 2 sections even though it's all the same. I can't seem to figure out why the album is split.

yeah if you like trying new software and new ways then try wmp11 but if your not that into new stuff or your comfortable with wmp then just stick to it. and also what are your views on office 2007?

You're lucky. WMP11 screwed up my pc. Couldn't rollback to 10. Couldn't uninstall. Removing entries from my registry didn't help. System restore didn't work either. Ended up having to reinstall XP. Should have followed the Golden Rule: Never install anything from Micro$oft that isn't version 2 or up...

i also have office 2007 and i really like it. it uses tabs which display everything you can do with word, making everything easier to access and do. it also looks really nice, like something you would see on a mac. but thats just my opinion
