Windows Media Player to be ported to Linux

["Daniel Hauck" <xdesign hotmail com>]

I just read on http://www.Linuxworldexpo.com that there is a Microsoft plan
to port its Media Player to Linux.  Anyone else aware of this?  I think some
gnome developers should volunteer their services to be sure MS does it right
(which is 'better than under windows').  I think it would be strange for
them not to write a dialog box saying "the sound resources are in use but we
can still play sounds!"
