I'm on build 14383, just noticed my Desktop has no watermark??? and if someone tells me how to upload a screen shot I will.
I do have to wonder what your reasoning is for running prerelease builds if you can't be bothered to even read the release notes. Questions like that don't deserve an answer here.
Obviously that's still necessary if you copy a small file or you do a small edit on a doc in the usb. It was never necessary if you were copying large files on the USB, given the size they were (and are) copied directly, so no cache problems involved.
That's the stock MS codec. It crashes the WMC when it starts playing something, so possibly it affects other media players as well. So the idea was not to use the same tactic, but to try to replace that very file. P.S. how come you never posted on the WMC thread? I thought you were very interested on that argument.
