Well, I'm not up to date on the patches for WMP9, because I always update due to exploits and vulnerabilities. :thumbsup:

Just some things I found by Googling: wmp 9 vulnerabilities

So I guess as long as WMP 9 is still being patched you're good...but I think the trend is to stop creating patches for older versions once a new version is released...or 2 newer versions are released. :flowers:
