RE: XP and Vista to get new media player
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?

y do they get sued for bundling extra software made by them in their own os?
They didn't actually get sued. The problem with Windows Media Player was that Microsoft bundles it with Windows, and that was ruled as anticompetitive by [some european body].
