No More WMV for Mac

Microsoft has officially stopped development of Windows Media Player for Mac. Instead they are promoting a third-party plugin, which we covered the other day, to fill the "void" left by this decision. I don't need to use WMV for much, but unfortunately I need to use it to watch video on CNN. This new plugin actually works quite well. The UI doesn't always show and doesn't update well at the moment, but that has no effect on the video quality - which is way better than any WMV I've ever see. Even if MS hadn't made this move I'd probably stick with the plugin because of its advantages over the MS product.
