I dont understand why amazon would pick Media Player.



Apple has a licensing deal with Amazon.

Why would they not go for Quick time.





Media Player doesnt even work half the time

    To take this further, it does seem that Amazon could/should have done the iTMS thing a while ago, and the iTMS could use a lot of the perks that amazon offers. Back to your normal thread...



    WMP is prevalent because it is installed as the default player for about 90% of computers sold. How many people do you know change their default media player on their computer?

    I would, if it was Media Player. XP



    EDIT: XP as in a look of disgust (the X is the eyes and the P is the mouth), not the Windows logo.

    What? You mean the "XP" on "Windows XP" isn't the look of disgust?!

    I always thought it was.. seems so appropriate.

    $$$, and market share.



    Now that Amazon is in bed with MS, they'll find that it's remarkably hard to get out.



    I think this deal is perfect. Amazon and MS were made for each other.

    Hey, I like amazon! Sure, they're a big bad company, but they don't make crappy products and endanger the entire internet from time to time.
