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.
