I’m just reporting on this since I don’t run Windows in my home — I’m a dirty Linux/OS X whore and proud of it — however Windows Media Player 11 is out, it’s loud, and it’s proud. The UI is considerably updated and it has direct connectivity to MTV’s URGE video service. You remember URGE, right? From that same channel that used to play music videos all the time?
Anyway, please install it and tell me if it’s any good. I might break down and hook up some XP when the Zune drops, but until them I’m an iTunes girl.

I like it just as much as iTunes — which is to say, it plays my music and leaves me alone so I’m happy. Actually, it’s less full of “buy from the music store” links that rather piss me off, so it’s even better! (I had to switch from iTunes to WMP when I switched from my iPod mini to a zen v plus–which I love!!)
