Another XP bashing note, and Mitch could you verify this?
On slashdot today, in the Ogg Vorbis thread, someone said that MS bundled an MP3 encoder into XP... with a maximum bitrate of either 64 or 128.
IF this is true, I call FOUL FOUL FOUL once again. It's the very worst thing they could do for the consumer, and very obviously is directed at getting more acceptance of their own proprietary formats.
They have three choices: ship a good MP3 encoder (good for consumers), ship no MP3 encoder at all (bad for consumers, but they can DL or buy one simply enough), or ship a BROKEN one (bad for everyone except MS).
