Ummmm. Well I'm confused too...hence the rather confused post.
There were some reports on the vidding threads that WMP v11 was causing a whole heap of problems for some people...namely preventing them from playing any DVDs on any media programs.
Seems though that most people who have updated to v11 are fine with it, so it's likely only on some people's systems. Seems likely that it is wiping out some shared codecs or whatever. Basically if you've already dled it and it's working, ignore the post (though I'd be inclined to make sure DVDs are still playing - commercial proper DVDs that is).
If you haven't dled it, then just be wary if you chose to update. If the program doesn't install properly, or you have issues then you can revert to v10 and at least you'll know where the problems came from.
Hope that clears it up.
I'm sitting on version 10 until I hear more information. I can't be bothered having to reinstall v10 later if there's a problem. *shrugs*
