So Cool, they're HOT!

consumers can spice up their desktop with half a dozen cool seasonal Player
Skins and holiday visualizations and let Windows Media Player 9 Series

Playlists. For power users, a new power toy can easily export media library
information to a wide range of formats including HTML, XML, Microsoft Excel

2002/2003 and Pocket PC devices so you can share your memories on the go
over the holidays.
