Is there anything available as an optional extra via Windows Update?

The Media Player download for the N versions of Vista is not available
yet.

If you wanted Media Player - why buy the N edition? You don't save
any cost and you loose functionality.

The N version is provided in Europe through MSDN Academic Alliance program
usually to students, and has to be given (with the N) in order to follow
European Union law.

This is why many of us are blocked looking for WMP 11 when it's not even out
for us yet.

Microsoft mentionned releasing a Media Restore Pack soon acter the Vista
release (jan. 30), but nothing yet.

I've searched for hours and I still don't have WMP, which means I also have
trouble readine .wma files.

It (the N edition) is provided but only as an option - you can still
have the full version.

You are not required to receive the N edition to comply with EU
legislation.
The N Edition itself was produced to comply with a specific ruling -
however you are not forced to only supply the N Edition
The N edition is an option. Your academic institute can supply you
with the full version - check back with them and the downlaod options
on the MSDN AA site for the software available for your institute.

Certainly checking a number of EU institutions on the above site the N
version is not listed.

This is from where I downloaded the Vista system, and the only avalible
option as for now is the N version. But I will contact my institute and see
what they can tell me.
But for now, maybe anyone know some good replacement for this software?
Something that would work for streaming video as well.

Winamp is pretty popular. Whether it works well on Vista or not, I don't
know. You'd have to check the forums.
