VideoLAN Releases VLC 1.0.0, Now Plays Everything

not reading the article, or replies, and not checking for yourself leads to wild gyrations with the keyboard.
apparently VLC performs - WMP can't play anything on its own, don't bring it up for comparison - no need to denounce VLC.
monkey's cousins also make ridiculous claims

...maybe start with amending the title.
Then try correcting the article? (no manufacturing, lots of head-offices)

WMP? Windows Media Player? It can't play anything... unless you mod your Windows install with codecs...
Media Player Classic? GOM? mis-typed WPM?
Yes, the beta/rc of VLC were in constant flux and often had regressions - but so far the current 1 version is running well and has many of the features I use MPC for.

Windows 7 Upgrade Guide: All Your Questions Answered

This is from the Future Shop website. Scroll down to the bottom, to the heading "Upgrade path to Windows 7" - it shows who can and can't do 'in-place upgrades' - it seems only Win7 Ultimate will allow a broad choice of in-place installs.

Microsoft and Mozilla Battling Over Open-Source Licensing
Posted 06/22/2009 at 02:51:56am
--- Once upon a time, many years ago, there were many IT Companies with what seemed cool products, the BBC and the government of Argentina bought products from these magical companies. Those companies went out of business and/or changed direction. The (proprietary) products bought by the BBC and some governments were no longer supported and no longer being updated - those agencies got screwed badly but no fuktwats got in trouble cause they had either retired or were too high up in those agencies. Money (and much more valuable; Knowledge) was lost.
But if you go with something called opensource (software and hardware exist as opensource) (like Brazil, Germany, and some small eastern US state are trying) then the technology you use is FREEly available to the public - even if those snots go away, your company/government has access to said technology and can hire whoever they want/can to update or even change that product so that those fuking medical records finally get digitized and social medicare finally starts aiding ppl.
More happy details can be found here, if you care to read...
