Xp Home 32 / Media 11 did not give me the terrible results I experienced with Media 11 / Vista Ultimate 32 bit. Not even close. Media 11 on Vista was so bad that I could not play my music with the set up as it was. It was truley that bad.

I preferred Winamp over any/all versions of media player I ever had on my XP p.c. I found Winamp had a much more natural sound and was very easy to adjust to my likings. Media player seemed clunky, the sound un-moving etc.

I tinkered extensively with the settings on Media 11 / Vista. The problem was not one of settings in the wrong place, but rather a media player that had serious issues when trying to operate with Vista. As stated above, I could manipulate the WOW and get the sound better, but definately not good. Turning off WOW was not a step in the right direction.

Personally, I have little good to offer about Gates' player.
