New Inaccurate link text.
It's not "No media player for you", it's "no bundled media player for you".

OEMs are free to add what they like.

Given that WMP is actually fairly cack at being an MP, I think that having the opportunity to have something that doesn't suck donkey balls as default MP is a Good Thing for users.
