Won't this generate a problem for microsoft ?
I remember microsoft being sued for including additional software in Windows XP. The consequences were making a new version of XP.
Why are they doing this again?

i already have wmp 11 by copying the files from vista, though it lags a lot on xp
but yay for xp version 
(not that i use wmp to play media )
edit: out of curiosity, y do they get sued for bundling extra software made by them in their own os?
