| Although the execution (style, etc) is very, very nice, andvery unlike MS, attention to detail, etc. I find it bothersome that it is badly integrated into Windows Media layer. Most of the radio stations in WMP, including MSN own stations, require you to launch a browser window, and then a new window, with the embeded player comes up. I don't want browser windows open!, I want to click on a radio station, minimize the player into a skin, and keep on working. If adds must be shown, either pop-up a small window with info on the station that I can then close, or use the visualizationarea to display it, but how can we talk media integration when don't realy talk to each other, for tha I praise Apple with Itunes, elegant, simple, and straigth to the point, WMP needs a bit of a rehaul, maybe learn from Itunes, not everything apple is bad, they still have a better emphasis on interface elegance and ease of use, I wont thke that away from them just because I love XP. Hopefully they will not copy the interface of Real One, it is still VERY messy, but nice look, that I woud not mind. MS, Mr Gates, the Itunes and Iphoto road of ease and simplicity migth be a good roas to follow to complete an otherwise superior effort on the os as seen in XP. |

| I understand about compromises and such, but still, we have too many parts floating, WMP, MSN Explorer, independent, pop-up embeded players, IE6 media bar, you see my point...? in this case variaty is a problem. I would do away with the embeded browser unless it detected that the wmp was not present, or something like that, otherwise, if chosen within the player, play it there. I still think that as an interface, and for stilistics, Itunes is far superior that many offerings out there, just make it simple and elegant, and lets be honest, MS has not been known for the elegance of their designs, XP is the begining of it. |
