+John. Subscriber¹ Posted February 19, 2006 Subscriber¹ Share Posted February 19, 2006 I doubt that this will be a public beta, but Microsoft are still adamant that the WMP11 Beta will arrive "some time in February".... however with basically 10 days to go, I don't think they'll make that.

Sn4k36 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I read some time ago that WMP 11 beta for xp will be around the same time as vista beta 2 arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech_Dude_5000 Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 Man I thought the beta was out or something ! It is, but not to the plubic, only MSDN and Microsoft Tech net subcribers have the curent betas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsiladka Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 It is, but not to the plubic, only MSDN and Microsoft Tech net subcribers have the curent betas No, it has not been up for MSDN or tech net also. Otherwise reviews screenies would have been up everywhere. Even Paul does not have anything on it. And the first beta shall be a public beta i guess. Thats how it has always been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikee286 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 what I don't understand is what is the wmp 11 gonna look like in xp. Because in vista the whole bottom half is glass and xp doesn't support that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sn4k36 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 http://www.windowsitpro.com/windowspaulthu...rott_46537.html Exclusive: WMP 11 to Be Major Release; Beta This November Microsoft's original plans for Windows Media Player (WMP) 11--formerly code-named Aurora--were fairly low-key, with just a few minor new features. That's all changed: Microsoft has canceled Aurora, and the company is moving the Longhorn media player to XP. Now code-named Polaris, WMP 11 will be a major release. There's just one problem: Instead of shipping in November, as per the original plan, WMP 11 will now ship in a public beta during that month, coinciding with Longhorn Beta 2. The final release is roughly scheduled for early 2006. You heard it here first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because in vista the whole bottom half is glass and xp doesn't support that. if you remember the Septemeber and october 2005 Bulids of vista, media player 11 didnt have glass. my guess is that thats what the XP verson may look like. http://www.windowsitpro.com/windowspaulthu...rott_46537.htmlExclusive: WMP 11 to Be Major Release; Beta This November Microsoft's original plans for Windows Media Player (WMP) 11--formerly code-named Aurora--were fairly low-key, with just a few minor new features.

dheaddy Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 My friend at MS claims that they will release a beta for xp but not anytime soon as it's dependent on avalon and indigo and you need stable builds of them on xp first before thinking about releasing a beta of WMP11.
