The development history of Windows Media Player is tied to Microsoft Corporation, founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen. The original program, sometimes called "Media Player," first appeared in 1991 for Windows 3.0 with limited multimedia capabilities. The best-known version, Windows Media Player 6.4, was released in 1999 and became the standard for years. Later versions were deeply integrated into Windows, including Windows Media Player 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11. The primary programming language for modern versions is C++, using the .NET framework for some components.
