Same here!

Fact is MS still makes some software that blows like WMP 7+ and FrontPage.

Yeah. I personally like Win XP and 2000, because they're good, stable OSes. I don't entirely agree with Microsoft's business practices, but they do make some good products, albeit their security definitely needs a kick in the ass.

Yeah, I'd take winamp over mediaplayer anyday...WMP just isn't as streamlined when it comes to mp3 playing. However, winamp can blow me as far as playing movies goes; that's WMP all the way.

Aye carumba. I'll take Winamp 2.81 with my custom skin over WMP any freakin' day of the week.

Whatever, you don't know quality when you see it. You probably belong to that Microsoft hate bandwagon. Yeah great, let me enjoy my superior MS products, while you enjoy your buggy and crappy non MS products. Using Winamp really wins you a lot of respect amongst your geek friends right?

ummmmm.........i don't think that someone who's asking around for an faq on how to find a girlfriend should be calling anybody a geek.

Who knows...maybe Frankel still has the rights to the Winamp2 source code (or at least maybe he'll take it with him) and development will continue... and with Frankel out on his own, Gnutella and Waste will probably reappear.

nevermind...just read his .plan

I guess no dice on that, but still, with Frankel on his own, I am sure we will see more awesome stuff from him.

I'm still on Winamp 2.8, never like 3.0 with all its add-ons plus it loads up ever so slowly.
Winamp 2.8 loads instantly!!! Yeah!

pre-3 Winamp still rules for audio... Plus, some of the plug-ins for it are fantastic. I *hate* 3.0, and wish my kids would quit installing it along with whatever new AOL program they grab (the chat programs)... Winamp sucks as far as playing any video files goes...

you guys should all check out winamp 2.91 -- it is still available and now winamp2 play VIDEO (without code bloat). I suspect that Frankel will stay until winamp 2.92 is done and then leave.

Winamp 2!

Buggy and crappy pretty much describe the latest versions of WMP, and Im not an MS hater. In fact, I actually love Win2K and IE, but not WMP. Anyway, what does winamp have to do with geekiness? Does the fact that you use a bloated POS like WMP 9 make you an idiot newbie?
