It's not god-awful.
It has a few failings:
* You cannot tell it to never check for updates or new codecs. Unless you use a Registry hack to turn off the update sub-process completely. (IOW, it assumes you're on the Internet.)
* It depends on IE very closely. In fact, it thinks it's part of IE. For instance, switch WMP to "offline" mode and you'll find you've changed IE to "offline" mode, as well.
* You can't modify the labels it gives CD tracks. Well, I couldn't, although all I did was play them. Maybe if you rip CDs then it gives you the option, but I never did that.
* It doesn't know anything about Ogg Vorbis files. That's a shame as I was going to bring in my Ogg collection from Home.
