Has anyone check out windows media player 9 yet?

I installed it a few days ago and I'm really lovin it. It does seem to want to connect to the internet alot, so if your using a "questionable" version of windows install a firewall to restrict it from accessing the net (I already had one running).

The feature I seem to be using alot is the taskbar feature. When minimized it can mount on your taskbar and even have a video screen for movies, or visual effects in songs. (check out image below)

In general it seems like a logical step for windows media player, has all the features of the leading music/video players and then some.
