Microsoft released WMP 11 not to long ago. Well, I decided to try it, and was quite impressed with the GUI. Performance, however, sucks.
It plays Music and Videos well, but working with other applications, it needs some work. I experienced some problems at first playing videos-they'd play at like 15 FPS. Reinstalled WMP 10, fixed the problem.
Installed WMP 11 again, movies play fine, everything looks good. However, Windows Movie Maker was giving me problems. Only certain clips that it created would allow themselves to be previewed before moving them into the timeline, along with some short lockups here and there. Is Microsoft planning a new version of Movie Maker? Because it seems like WMP 11 has some problems with apps that had WMP 10 in mind. I don't know about you guys but I'm quite pissed off.
