Maybe they hadn't tested it out on Windows 98 and the other players. The information probably hasn't been updated either, so it's not really misleading. Where does it say this anyway?

The new Music Personal Message enables customers to share information about the song they are listening to through Windows Media® Player or an iTunes player.
There it says iTunes... To get it to say what music you are listening to in other players, you probably have to download a plugin. If Microsoft said that you could use the feature in Winamp, that would be misleading because to get it working, you have to download a plugin.
