By the looks of all his comments, he's getting paid to bash Microsoft. I wonder how one gets that job..

How is this not expected? Windows Media Player is a terrible product anyway and there are alternatives even if you unfortunately forced to use a Windows machine.

Actually those screen shots have him running a pirated copy...I said before AstralKnight has said / copy/pasted some stupid stuff, actually down right stupid. Except he has put in some honest things too.Sadly he doesn't suspect a change in Windows Media Player Plugin API. Though if ogg really is being blocked as it shows its just another gun pointed at their foot. Seriously if they block out ogg then their asking for trouble. Microsoft has a enough trouble around purposely under supporting ODF . Anyways point is he suggested a simple gtk music juke box, better than in the past.-signed : A linux user, whose being honest.I know i sorta want AstralKnight to shutup at times too but he's getting better at making more honest post so let him be.

Read the blog comments. It's working for others just fine. MS is not blocking any third-party codecs, AstralKnight is just too stupid to get them working.
