I'm noting my problem isn't with quicktime... it's with the bloatware that Apple installs with it. Quicktime is a 5 to 6 meg program, tops, but the install file is 17 and the installation ends up being 28-30 depending on options.

I'm wondering (hoping) if WMP offers more functionality on the Windows side?

I'm wondering why Pearson Learning insists on discounting some of their books to the dealer network but wants us to pay "NET" for others in the same line!

I'm thinking it is just another hit in the "lets go direct and

the stores line of thinking that is happening in our industry.

I'm noting that other than an improved interface (still not as good as QT, and much worse than Winamp, BSPlayer, and some other 3rd party players), WMP functionality doesn't seem to have improved since version 3 or 4. It just seems to take over more <hard drive space, memory, CPU cycles, file associations> with each version.
