The only really new feature (not already present in
version 5) is Print Preview, which allows you to: view
each page as it will appear when printed, select only the
specific pages you wish to print, and zoom Web pages in
and out.
The version of Windows Media Player that comes with
Windows ME is 7.0 (and it can also be downloaded from
Microsoft to install on a 9x system). This program will
play just about any video/audio format, except notably
Real Audio and Real Video. You can burn audio CDs that
use the Windows Media format. It features multiple
"skins", which means that it can be modified to
have a new look and feel for its graphical interface. It
also has the ability to display a multitude of built-in
visual effects to accompany the music you listen to.
