Windows Media Player for Windows 98/Me/2000
Reviewing 9 (Nov 8, 2003)
I wasn't expecting much but I have to say this program rocks. It's fast, simple, and tons of options. More importantly I can now go to web sites that only use Microsoft formats. So far stable.

You guys are way off base. Windows Media Player 9 series codecs are top notch and a quantum improvement over the earlier WMP codecs. There are numerous web sites providing 9 series content that Mac users have not been able to access. Microsoft has worked their butts off for over a year to create a first rate WMP9 for Mac that even supports Safari and all you can do is berate it. I can't believe you have tried it out and I wonder if you have ever viewed or listened to media encoded in WMA9 and WMV9. Microsoft has had a Windows Media Player version for the Mac for a number of years now. The new player is certainly not a response to iTunes. It's merely an upgrade to support the latest version of the WM codec.
