I've refused to allow WMP 11 to add it's excess baggage to my systems when MPlayer
&/| VLC do the job so well with video.
As to FF vs. IE & banks, I'd switch banks, honestly.

Rick,
Apologize for the lateness on this reply. I've been focused on future

In any case, I do understand what you shared. I use IE8 ONLY for
critical banking stuff; just because my connectoid still has some issues
with FF that I just do not choose to fight about with them (and/or tweak
my PC to SEE if I can make FF work).
For WMP, the only time I use it is for full-screen views of video/audio
streams from NASA.gov. I do my audio (music) via other means.
Think I will finally (!) let XP update WMP from 9 to 11 and just truck on!
Thanks,
Duncan

Have it, don't actually USE it. If it is technically "embedded", it
should be kept up to date, just like IE8. (Which I seldom use too.)
It, (and MS-IE8) give me too many Cookies I need to approve manually.
Nothing else I use (too many to list) requires manual hand holding
like that.
In fairness to MS, I never tried to "fix" that behavior.

I use WMP9. OS is XPpro SP3.
Getting lots of pop-ups to update to WMP11.
Opinions sought about WMP11?
