win media player in firefox - XP media center

First question here is - is XP Media Center any use whatsoever? What was the programming brief? 'We want you to create an amazing new package that can only do all the things standard freeware media programs can do anyway, only with seriously, seriously ugly graphics...' ??

And the real question - is there any way to get windows media player embedded into Firefox, if the operating system is XP mc? The usual trick of copying over the relevant .dll to the firefox plugins folder doesn't work for some reason...
