When you think about doing any kind of writing, the software that probably comes to mind is Microsoft Word or OpenOffice.org Writer.

But like a lot of software (not just the stuff out of Redmond), WMP got a bit too big for its own good. Now, it doesn’t just play audio and video. It’s also a DVD player, an iTunes wannabe, a CD ripper, an interface to MP3 players, and more.
