Are you referring to the old Microsoft fight song: Windows ain't done, 'Til Lotus won't run!! I know they've axed Java, hosed RealPlayer, and who knows what else in the recent XP "upgrade." I'm surprised they haven't figured out a way to screw up Quicken, the last true thorn in their side. By the way, I prefer Windows Media Player because it didn't have a zillion ads tacked on like the default RP, but the latest version of MP can't even play my music CDs without skipping. What a hassle to track down the file association so that I can link my music CDs back to the streamlined CDPlayer that comes free with Windows (which doesn't skip for me).
