Where do they state that ? If you're referring to windows media player
playback of an AVI file from a DVD disk, then the player is intended
to be extensible via directshow or media foundation decoders.
If they shipped it including all possible codecs it'd (a) be as slow
as a dog and (b) be hugely bloated (a common accusation of some MS
software). You can't have it both ways.
Where do they state that ?
Well as an IT migration specialist with 15 years of experience, I'd
have thought some of that experience would have taught you to
investigate suitability of installed systems before purchasing a
license ?
You do know these are peer-supported forums right ? Complaining in
here isn't likely to be seen by anybody at Microsoft, as they don't
monitor these newsgroups.
I'm not clear why you're invoking my (mis-spelled) name here but I'd
appreciate it if you leave me out of your complaint, I have no
relationship with microsoft product groups.
I'd be surprised if MS execs have anything to do with the IT and
deployment side - they're business managers, not techies.
Perhaps it would be a good time to join the windows 7 product
improvement systems on connect.microsoft.com to help produce a product
which is likely to meet your long term needs.
No useful moderation is practised on NNTP newsgroups as they're a
distributed news system with no organisation in overall charge.
So your comments (and mine) are now permanently available for the
world to review, and in my case, possibly chuckle at.
Then - have a happy holiday, and a very good new year !
Cheers - Neil
