Validate this!

A classic case of bloated software. I downloaded a video tutorial on ASP.NET
MVC Preview 3 (or something like that) and ran it with Windows Media Player. Ok, so then the validation screen pops up asking me to validate with Microsoft or Bill Gates or Steve Balmer or someone/something over
there, I clicked on OK, to go ahead.

I waited for 2-3 seconds. Thats the average maximum time for a website visitor would wait until they get some kind of a response from a website or else they’ll go to someplace else.

Kept waiting for another 3 seconds, still nothing and I went on to find Media Player Classic.
While downloading the Terms & Agreement for Windows Media Player
pops up. I clicked on cancel, realizing my pc is already slow, I don’t know what’ll happen when I install a new Windows Media Player (maybe some taskbar shit keeps popping up, or some taskbar player thing cluttering it), I unzip the downloaded Media Player Classic, BEHOLD! ONE FILE!, unzip in Program Files and ran the video with it.
