Media Player upgrade matrix?

[Guest]

Has anyone seen or found a direct feature for feature comparison between
media player 10 and 11? I've been looking but can't find one.

The basic question is this, is it a worthwhile/useful/safer idea to move the
corporate desktops to the new player. I have yet to find a difinitive
listing of the features side by side. There is a lot of noise about the
online music stores but this is not something that is required in this case,
we are really most concerned with security.

Brian, thanks for your reply, but that is not what I'm looking for.

When someone is looking at the different advantages/disavanges of a given
product it is very helpful to have a single page showing the features that
are and are not included.

example "player 11 has improved online security" and a 10000ft summary of
what is new would be helpful, however saying that we can now buy a bunch more
music online is not for a corporate environment. Sifting through two very
different pages trying to create a list of good and not so good is very
difficult making the exercise pointless.

For now we will stick with player 10 because there is no information given
about the actual underhood changes in 11.

MP11 may well be more secure and we may be missing the boat, but I have no
hard evidence to that affect.

The 'online music shopping' experience is irrelevent to a corporate
environment, but this seems to be what half the articles are on about.

Do understand that my personal machine has 11 on it and I quite like it, but
I need more than that to add it to a corporate desktop image.

Best Regards
Rob N

Both of the pages had a Review link after a click or 2 or 3 which I believe is what
you want. In case they may not be I'll refrain from going back to find them and put
the ball in your court.

You might want to post to the media player newsgroup. That's where the
media player experts hang out.
