Go up one level in this thread


its unclear to me what Mr.Merolle meant by Win98-- that's a kernel of course. I
mean that winME is also called Win98rev4, eg.. So many flavors of 98 can support
MS-WMP9, while others do not.
If Jeroen recommends that Joe should change his operating system just to use wmp
inside of fritz, I think that is a bit of a reach. Should we wait for available
content and debugging of the new software before advising others to spend more
than a Hundred Dollars so they can use it?
