I'm sure that $5 million will go straight into the "vote yes for european constitution plx", but thanks for the money cow Microsoft!

If only they extended the media player contract with Real Player, they wouldn't have to pay $5 million a day, and they would have a superior media player.

So it looks like M$ won't be fined after all. I wonder if it's because the EU is a joke or if Billy and Monkeyboy paid them off.

I'd rather have only WMP bundled than that horrific software of the damned, realplayer.

Ideally, iTunes + quicktime would be the best, but most OEMs are kind enough to do that one for you.
