I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm not clamoring for a better version of media player.

If they want my business in the future, they'd better address their security problems, something they appear to be doing (once again) as an afterthought.

And Springboard will alert users when a new application tries to open a port, essentially a side door into the operating system that programs use to exchange information. Viruses often exploit open ports, and Springboard gives users the ability to keep them shut.

I can see it now...users automatically clicking OK every time some silly Microsoft message box pops up and asks them about accessing a port. After the fourth or fifth time, for the average user, it will become a reflex.

Isn't this the same mechanism ("are you sure you want to...") that's supposed to keep people from deleting files by mistake?

Doesn't work real well, in my experience.

It's already out. It's called Winamp v5.0.3. It's so good they skipped a number.

I recently doenloaded it and installed and it is...the bomb. It now does video and gives access to streaming Internet audio/radio of ALL types and Internet video and TV of ALL types.

Wanna listen to Old Time Radio? No problem. Want to watch full screen classic episodes of The Andy Griffith Show? No problem. It is skinnable with version 2 or version 3 skins or with tons of new modern looking themes that are included with the package.

I was skeptical at first because I hated version 3...but this new version blows Media Player away!
