The main issue for using WMP in Windows XP has been the penalty of going through kmixer. It doesn't support ASIO or kernel streaming. Other than that it is a pretty decent player, and can be extended to support non Microsoft formats (check out something called WMPTagSupportExtender, and directshow filters for FLAC, MPC, Wavpack, Ogg etc.).With Vista, kmixer is no longer an issue since we can set the default sampling rate for all shared mode applications. Given that, I don't see any real issues with using WMP (especially since Media Center is such a nice interface).
