WMA is a perfectly satisfactory format for ripping audio. It's widely accepted amongst players and although you can argue over the quality of its compression most people seem to think it's slightly better than MP3. It supports variable frame sizes without an add-on hack so you can have seamless track transitions.
The only truly bad thing about it I can think of is that it supports DRM but of course when you're ripping that doesn't matter. There are better alternatives but like most high-end audio solutions they involve hassle getting them running. Windows Media player will rip a CD without you having to touch the keyboard or mouse. I borrowed a friend's autoloader one month and just kept feeding it 20 discs at a time. So I have to disagree here and accuse you of bashing Microsoft just because you think it's cool.
