If you never install WMP updates or if you run an old version of WMP within a virtual PC under Vista then you'll still be ok.
It's not the version of WMP that is the issue, it's the IBX ("Blackbox") version that has to be 11.0.60xx or less (like 11.0.57xx). You can "roll back" your DRM components on both XP and Vista to the earlier, FairUse-compatible (or rather, Mirakagi-comaptible) IBX.

And again, you can install whatever WMP updates you want, so long as they don't update the IBX components. Doom9 has some good threads on this, if anyone is interested.
