I'm sorry Larry but I have to disagree, WMP should NEVER have been there in the first place IMO. The OEMs shouldn't need to remove it, they should have to install it if they so wish.

Because of Microsoft's monopoly position it makes it uncompetitive and there is no technical reason why media player (front end) can't be left off of Windows.

PS, I appreciate you expressing your thoughts on a topic (more than I can say for a lot of Microsoft employees on here). Smiley
