re: useless

Exactly! As far as I can remember, I've never used MS NoHelp and Support.
You don't need to try and use it to know that it's pathetic and completely useless, you know automatically.

The MS Knowledge Base articles, OTOH, can actually be helpful when trying to fix errors.

useless

ms help and support is just a patronising waste of space.

i always disable it on every machine i deal with on the grounds that it is pathetic

Admins are Not Programmers

This is bad news, good news that a really smart and talented guy developed a fix. However, I must point out that weather or not his fix was open or closed source, Sys Admins especially on the windows platform cannot be expected to be programmers. If anything it will be good material to teach people.

Cheers

But

Chances are most XP builds with have WMP 10 or the awful WMP11 some might not even use any and go to WinAmp or even Itunes or hell even the good ole VLC Media Player.

But again I laugh at the fact this has to come to light after June's Patch Tuesday.
