Dear Microsoft,
After spending countless amounts of money creating Windows Media Audio/Video and creating several new(er) versions of Windows Media Player, how is it possible that your software still can't accomplish even basic tasks that Apple's Quicktime Player has been able to do for years? You petitioned SMPTE and managed to turn Windows Media Video into a standard known as VC-1, yet there aren't any obvious specifications for what computers can actually play back high-definition Windows Media without stutters and playback anomalies. No standards exist for what bitrates can be supported "safely" on desktop PCs.
Even basic functions that are taken for granted in Quicktime - such as jumping to a specific point in time in a media file, or scrubbing forwards/backwards are impossible within Windows Media Player.
If you are to be taken seriously for your efforts of advancing computer audio/video, you have to create a product worthy of any professional consideration. So far, Windows Media Player suffers from the same bloated syndrome that plagued the Windows OS back in Windows 3.xx days.
Please fix this at your earliest opportunity.
Best Wishes,
A frustrated Windows User (and media professional)
