How is windows media player 10 working out for everyone?
I have had it for about a week now and have not run into any problems with it yet. It did add a new service called wdfmgr.exe that runs in the background however, but I have heard that it is a good thing and it only takes up 1.5k of memory.

I have had it since it came out and have had no problems with it whatsoever.

I have used version 10 since the beta test was around. I never touched number 9, even with a barge-pole, but version is much better. I like the user interface a lot more, and I like how I can minimize it to the start bar, with the rest of my programs, and get rid of the one that says Windows Media..., just a little bar with controls on it. I also told the service to stop loading, and have no adverse effects. 5 stars here.

10 for me has been much more stable and faster loading. I also like that they brought back some of the options that 9 had left out although right now I do not remember what they were.

Faster loading? Hmm...may have to take a look in that case
