well yes .. there is no mini for the wmp 12 ..and i think it is reasonable somehow since when you minimize it, it goes to the -dock like- taskbar with the options of pausing and playing .. so ..i think it is good enought _ well at least for me _
I do really like the improved stability of WMP and the new features as well as the fact that it does look like a "mini" version of itself when open.. but it's still not enough to make me use it as my default media player.. I'll stick with VLC at least for a little while longer.. it plays anything I can throw at it and the quality of my videos is better in it than WMP..
