Windows Media Player 11 XP Version coming sooner than Vista

Windows Media Player fans won't have to wait until January 2007 to experience the new features of Windows Media Player Vista as Microsoft plans to release a Windows XP version of Windows Media Player 11 before the end of June 2006.

Windows Media Player 11 has a whole new look and feel.
