Should I get WM9?

[noisedude]

I've heard lots of bad stuff said about it regarding digital rights etc, but if I'm basically a legitimate user of audio and video files will I run into problems?

If I download something off the net, be it P2P or whatever, will it play on WM9 because I've heard some guys saying it won't.

The reason I ask is because it looks nicer than WM8 and I'm just getting broadband so I can afford to run Windows Update for the first time in a year

if you do get it make sure to turn of the DRM stuff.

[noisedude]

can you definitely do that then? if so i think i'll take a chance on it. man, big brother MS winds me up!

Yeah I'd download it, DRM isn't used often but it sucks anyways. You can turn it off in the menus.

Should I get WMP9?

Sure. Why not? It's works just fine for me. As the others have said, just turn off the uneeded stuff during setup and you'll be just fine.

I believe the operative word we are looking for here is "MS BS".
