Your attitude implies that users who don't like WMP - a product Microsoft
forces them to purchase whether they want to or not - should not complain
about the quality. They should just keep their mouths shut and use
something else and be good little corporate citizens. That is exactly why
WMP is in the shape it is in. When people presented bad ideas, no one was
willing to stand up and say, "That's just bad."
