According to CNet News.com's Music stops for Mac Windows Media Player, Microsoft has officially stopped development of its Windows Media Player for the Mac and won't develop any future music-playing software for Mac platform.

"We have no plans to provide future updates or product support for Windows Media Player for Mac," Adam Anderson, Microsoft public relations manager, said in an interview Thursday.

And the reason?

"It's basically a business decision for Microsoft," Anderson said. "Like any other company, we have business priorities. Our focus really is in delivering the best experience to Windows customers."

The company has said it will come out new versions of Office for Mac and MSN Messenger for Mac. The development of Virtual PC for Mac is unknown.

The company has said it will come out new versions of Office for Mac and MSN Messenger for Mac. The development of Virtual PC for Mac is unknown.

Since new versions of Virtual PC for Mac would not need to emulate an Intel CPU (Since it's running on one now) I think it's more likely that they would port the Windows version of VPC to OS X on x86 than try to make the PPC Mac version work.
