Re: Microsoft to stop developing WMP for Mac
I wrote about this yesterday. 
Actually, Telestream develops Flip4Mac, so that's the new official software. And the new 2.0 version is absolutely free (and installed on all my machines).

Re: Microsoft to stop developing WMP for Mac
Pffffftttthhhhbbbt. Sure, you "wrote" about it, if you loosely define "write" as "stringing together words and sentences into a structured, coherent document that successfully communicates one or more facts, themes and/or opinions." Specious, at best. 
There seems to be discrepencies, though, between your story and the AP story: You're saying that MS has stopped development of its player (or its codec?) entirely and contracted Telestream to do it all...the AP story and the Macworld story each say that MS has only stopped support for the Mac version.
And that still leaves my question, or rather a different version of it: If I find that WMV media is still lesser quality than native QT media, is that a problem with the codec itself, or are Windows users experiencing the opposite?
