So I have it installed on one of my XP boxes, and I gotta say...whatever happened to MS being so hardcore on consistent UIs?
I now have MP11's Vista look running side-by-side with XP's Fisher Price look. Great combo. Even with the OS in Windows Classic mode MP11 still uses the Vista look.
One of my biggest Vista gripes about its UI in general has always been that it's *very* hard for a novice to tell which window currently has focus. Now MS wants to backport Vista's UI to XP?
Years of MS's own usability studies out the window, I say.

Jeff,
It was pretty nice of Andre to share this link and I have to agree, WMP11 is awesome. I also think that Vista is really sweet. The public release should be available soon.
As far as me getting invited, sorry to say I wasn't. I decided to go purchase one of Microsoft's programs that provides access to the beta. -- Jason Windows Vista, Build 5308

This link works as well (doesn't require you to remember an equal, and is compatible with the clickers personal language settings vs forcing english) - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/AllDownloads.aspx -- Tom Porterfield

I should stress that this is only an official BETA download. Lots of folks downloaded the v10 BETA and had many problems with their PC as a result. I've already seen one report of someone unable to install this beta.
So if you can't deal with the consequences of BETA software, DON'T TOUCH IT.

It won't install on one of my PCs, but installs fine on another. I can live without it on the one it doesn't install on though, so not fussed :)

Yeah, thats why I posted it here. It won't install on my PC either, an error pops when I try to launch it WMDRM error something. I had to use System Restore to remove it too. -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta "Mike Williams" wrote in message

It isn't just WMP11 with the Vista interface. All new things for XP have the Vista interface like IE7, Defender, OneCare, Office 2007. So the question is will Microsoft update the XP interface? "Homer J. Simpson" wrote in message

I have installed WMP11 on my XP computer. It's overall good, but I've got a few minor complaints. First, I've noticed *some* of the visualizations aren't as fast. Bars & Waves and Blazing Colors to name two in particular. They're almost as slow as they were in Windows Media Player 8 and 7. Another slight issue is when I hit the play button on my keyboard, WMP11 hung for 10 seconds (the whole program was freezing up) or so before it snapped out of it. It's only done that once so far. Besides that, I haven't found much of any problems yet. That would probably get an overall higher rating in my books than WMP10 beta did. I got rid of the WMP10 beta because I disliked it so much. I still wasn't extremely wild about what WMP10 ended up being, but it was much better than the beta. I liked the looks of WMP10 but the issues... I had good luck with the WMP9 beta way back when 3 or 3 1/2 years ago. I do like the partial Vista interface used on WMP11.

Nope :o) XP's pretty much a closed book now - has been for some time. The only thing their really using from it is to create a new UMPC OS that runs on them.

Its support life-cycle runs through then, but I can't imagine there will be much new feature work going on in it apart from Vista compatibility issues which I guess will get treated in a future service pack.

Its still not a closed book until Microsoft says so. -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta "Mike Williams" wrote in message
