Bit slow to respond compared to Windows Media Player 6.4 (eg. hit Pause and
it does it about half a second later). And I wish full-screen was activated
by ALT+ENTER like all other apps. And it's "Open File" dialog is a bitch and
defaults to some new-fangled thing which sucks. There is an option for the
old "simple open" dialog, but I wish it could just default to that instead.

Other than that, it plays MPEG1's well enough -- haven't tried MPEG2's yet.
Currently still on my system awaiting further evaluation.
