    Is there a Windows Media Player for Vista ?

    When I go looking for Media Player downloads, I cannot find any specifically
    for Vista. When I try to load down the XP version, it rejects the download
    because I am running Vista (same with Internet Explorer 7).

    Vista comes with Windows Media Player 11 already as standard. Same goes for
    IE7.

    If you are referring, or trying to get the recent 'updates' for those
    packages, they are included in the later updates of Windows Vista.

    So, if you want to get parity or similar level of release with the current
    RC1s for Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player, I'm afraid it looks
    like you'll have to get the downloads for Vista RC1.
