20%-30%
The non XP market is actually 20%-30% with most figures suggesting it is closer or above 30%.

MS isn't just killing WMP for Mac- They are not releasing updated WMP versions for its older OSes not on mainstream support, not licensing the formats for Alternative OS Makers at any price EG; Linspire, and they are killing WMP for Mac.

Not to mmention the new version has DRM that can be co-opted by spyware makers and the newest version (V11) us suppose to also have this secure path junk built in so that it won't play if your Monitor or video card is not up to MS Snuf or heavens forbid have it plugged into your TV or VCR (As you very well may have if you have the Media Center version- as this is how MS and its partners advertises you should use it).
