Actually, if you bothered to read my post, I state that I don't like WMP. For audio I use Foobar, for video Powerdvd.How do you know there are 50 million lines of code in XP - have you counted 'em? Or do you just believe what you hear second hand.
Or perhaps mis-read.
Have you any idea of the overheads in providing out of the box support for the range of peripherals that XP handles?
Sorry, I don't usually get this aggressive - just don't like it when people mount a populist hobby horse. Badly.
