Is there any plans for an updated version of windows media player for
mac? windows media player 9 is outdated and sometimes won't even play
some videos or streams.

Also is there any plans for Zune support on the mac?

Thanx

-Dan

I really doubt it.
WMP for Mac was officially decleared dead a few years ago. I wouldn't
expect any update on this front anytime soon (read ever).

Actually, I think we're better of with the FLip4Mac codecs. I just wish
MS would let them bring DRM support as well :-\

MS has never told us anything in this forums in the several years I've
been visiting it. THe WMP people have been less than communicating. I
wouldn't hold my breath for any kind of announcement here,
Between you and me, I doubt they have any plan for that.
