Windows Media Player 11 BETA


Recommended Posts

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.

Im not sure what your friend is talking about because the xp version of wmp11 will not be dependant on avalon or indigo.

I got in touch with Paul Thurrott a few days ago and this is what he said about a February public release:

That should be a public beta. I haven't had an update on WMP 11 in a while, but I assume it's still happening this month.

heres some info that might be helpfull to you:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/expe...tgenplayer.mspx

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/comm...ediaplayer.mspx

even though its on the windows vista site, I think most of the features will be in the Media player 11 XP , expcet the search features, ( it might come with a search feature, dont know why not, but not as intense of the search in Vista Media player and may be a few other features, such as the glass efects wont be in the XP player

Keep in mind they said a while back that Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 and Windows Media Player 11 Beta for XP would come out with beta 2 of Vista. We already have beta 2 of Internet Explorer 7. I wouldn't be surprised if WMP 11 comes out sometime this week. There will definitely be a Feb. Vista CTP just prolly on the last day of the month :laugh:
