I have no reason to like wmp more because it's m$. It's just that it has everything necessary.
As for tv-out, it isn't that bad. On a single monitor for output to a tv, it works just as it should.
Winamp looks better, sounds better and works better, it's been around longer, is more stable, and uses less cpu. It also has more 3rd party plugins, compatibility, skins, and a nicer design. So WMP comes preinstalled with windows? I think it's advantage (like most MS products) ends there.
I actually use winamp for alot of video because it's playlist organization > than any other program I've used, including bsplayer (sadly, as it seems to render video just that little bit nicer).
Try this: Download some music videos and put together a playlist for both winamp and WMP. Make a shortcut on the desktop for each, and then run those shortcuts. See what pops up faster, and looks better.
