Discover Microsoft's latest attempt to unseat iTunes and the iPod in my review of Windows Media Player 11! In this review, I'll be examining Windows Media Player 11 for Windows XP, which is now available in a public beta version. I'll briefly look at MTV's URGE music service, by which Microsoft hopes to usurp iTunes' online music service dominance, and the iRiver clix, a wonderful portable MP3 that, yup, even makes the iPod look silly by comparison. However, I'll be reviewing these WMP 11 companions separately. Together, they present an interesting alternative to Apple's stranglehold on the market. A Microsoft renaissance in digital media? You never know.
