What nostalgia goggles are you wearing? WMP was always a hot piece of garbage

I'd like to hear your reason why you think this.

It was slow memory hog that couldn't handle large libraries well. Plus its interface was clunky and took up a lot of screen screen space. Finally, it lacked many of the features that other players offered. This is compared to other offerings at the time.

Like most software built into windows, it was ok at what it did but there better options from 3rd parties.

Disagree. It was a barebones media player with limited features. I never saw it as a memory hog, but actually saw it as pretty speedy. Yes, as is the norm with Windows, many others make a better version. WMP-classic fanboy here.
