I think you are right that the hackers will remove the component completely. They will make it very easy for users to install illegal versions. It would be quite impressive to see them come up with a patched version that doesn't require activation, registration, and WGA.I wonder when Microsoft is supposed to throw in their new "activation" scheme that is supposed to prevent piracy?-Ryan Yep, very well put.

They should make WMP11 (the version I expect Vista will have) follow proper ID3 tags, rather than creating its own hidden proprietary database.Until they actually make us want it, we won't care if we pirate it.
