Microsoft releases latest version of Windows Media Player 11 Beta 2

Microsoft has released it's latest version of Windows Media Player 11 Beta 2

The second beta for WMP 11 includes additional stores: eMusic, VidZone and Music Giants. The total number of stores offered by WMP 11 is 14, Microsoft said in a statement. One of the new features in the latest beta version of Windows Media Player 11, released Thursday, allows a user to share content with multiple devices within a home.

The upgrade of the jukebox is important to Microsoft's plan for unseating Apple Computer as top dog in digital music. WMP 11 has received favorable reviews and critics have said that it's a sign Microsoft could be finally moving out of Apple's shadow.

The media-sharing abilities of WMP 11 are a step towards ushering in the so-called "digital home."
