MTU should focus on making the karaoke part work better (customizing start and stop set points in songs, pitch-independent tempo control, etc.) and not waste resources with video jockey or audio features. There are plenty of other apps which do those much better than Hoster ever will.

Actually the big question is why doesn't Windows (especially Vista) play nice with existing programs. Instead of making the OS be backward compatible as Microsoft preaches, they change how programs have to interact with the OS so third party software companies have to scramble to make the programs work with the new OS.
As others have said it does work with WMP11 (which is a bigger memory hog than Hoster) but only if you have sufficient memory on the system and on the video card.
All of those added features and the additional ones to come were all asked for by users like you and me, so we have no one to blame but us.
