Windows Media Player in Windows Vista Business N

Posted in Windows Vista by Fox on the February 21st, 2007

It turns out there is not version of Windows Media Player currently available for Windows Vista Business N.
According to the microsoft windows media newsgroup, Windows Vista Business ‘N’ edition is not bundled with Windows Media Player (because of the European Union regulation). In addition, you cannot download Windows Media Player because it’S just not available yet and will be out in ‘a couple of month’.

What am I supposed to do until the next ‘couple of month’, not listen to music or something?
Technically, WMV files cannot be read on Windows Vista Business N and it doesn’t seem we can get a WMV codec to get them working on other media players.

I’ll keep you updated on what happens.

    Well i know for a fact the “microsoft windows media newsgroup” is incorrect. I personally owned a version of Buisness draft N perchased through my local public school system. I had recently aquired a keyboard a Dynex Internet Keyboard. I plugged in the Keyboard and began to press the multimedia keys to see if they functioned. So i would know if i needed to install the Drivers from the CD. The Button with a CD with a musical note on it popped open a WIndows Media player, Which is not supposed to be “bundled” into the OS. Go figured.
