Windows Media Player 11 Beta 2 is out! I've tried it and it works like wonders! Lots of bug fixed and significant changes in those graphics and now it really looks great! The the same old boring Media Files icon in your folder are no longer the same, and change with a specify nice looking icon! And with the new sharing features which I have not really tried it out yet...

Here's the new release log of Microsoft....

I have been using Windows Media Player 11 beta 2 for some time. I love it because its design really rocks. Most of the time, I use it to watch my movie. Like most Windows Live products, it is really very good to use and nice-designed.

Yea, I'm not sure when its out, but I just got them off Microsoft website cause they didnt mention about beta 2 in their homepage until now... And I've found out that if you set Windows Media Player 11 as the default player for your browser, then it'll come out as a totally different interface when viewing videos or listening to music using that WMP!! And the graphics is really great!
