Microsoft has launched a Windows Media player plugin for Firefox 2.0 that supports Windows XP and Vista. The plugin is compatible with versions of Windows media Player from 6.4 to 11.

There's a known issue with Firefox version 2.0.0.3 on Windows Vista, where the installer does not work the first time you try it. All you have to do is restart Firefox and then install the plugin again.

It's good to see Microsoft improving compatibility with a competitor's product, but we can't help wonder why it's taken so long.
