I just use Media Player Classic. I downloaded the WMP9 codecs so I can use audio/video for that. I haven't checked recently to see if they provide WMP10 codecs.

Nah, that's nowhere near close to being Windows XP Crippled Edition. That title goes to Windows XP Starter Edition. Wikipedia quote:

Windows XP Starter Edition (also called "XP Lite", not to be confused with Shane Brooks's XPLite (http://www.litepc.com/)) is a lower-cost version of Windows XP available only in Asia, including Russia. It is similar to Windows XP Home, but has some features removed and some limitations added: display resolution can only be up to 800x600 pixels, only three applications may be run at the same time, any application may have no more than three windows open, PC-to-PC home networking and printer sharing is not available and only a single user account is allowed. Added to the operating system are localized help features, country-specific wallpapers and screensavers and certain pre-configured settings to make it easier for novices to use.

You going to complain about WMP being taken out instead of all that stuff?

Actually, I know someone who got the Starter Edition... and when he ran TweakNT on it to make it "Home", the limitations were gone, but the "extra" programs are indeed gone.

I hope that sentence makes sense. I can't be bothered to fix it.

As well as stripping Windows Media Player from Windows XP, Microsoft has been ordered to reveal essential APIs to rival software companies like Apple and RealPlayer.
No! Not QuickTime and RealOne! That's even worse!

QuickTime's not so bad... but I won't use it for my main media play. Anything Real is

But think of the Winamp. Please.

I can tolerate Real for audio but I don't use RealPlayer itself. (Lots of places still use Real streaming like the BBC's website, strangely enough - although they've been trying to phase in WMP for a while.)
