I've given WMP11 a test run and it seems that Microsoft has gotten this right. WMP11 has a nice look and feel. Folks that are accustomed to iTunes' UI will feel right at home. I'm looking forward to purchasing iRiver's Clix player and giving WMP11 a full test run. I've got nothing against iPods or iTunes, per se (everyone else at home uses them, right down to my 6 year old!), but the exclusivity of the file format and Apple's unwillingness to license the code has always been a big turnoff. I'm really hoping that WMP11 delivers as promised.
