All they're trying to do is get you to switch to media player and use their program...typical of a company to do that 
No they aren't!!!...
Nobody is forcing you to use WMP. Like someone said in this thread WMP is their own product so it is more then logical that this is supported by default. Other players can very easly adapt the same technique to send the currently playing song, there is nothing fancy about it. It is NOT up to MS to include all hundreds of different players by default in their MSN Messenger.
It is up to those other companies to support it! This is extremely easy to implement by the way MS made that currentplaying song thingie. And that is also exactly what shaneh did (and TB). He made a patch/plugin/program which in a sense should have been done (and probably will be done in time) by the companies that makes those other players...
So stop bashing MS for once...
