From: "Gregg N" 

WMP 10 comes with three samples:

   Like Humans Do, David Byrne (from Talking Heads)
   Symphony No. 9 (Scherzo) Beethoven
   Highway Blues, Marc Seales

They are store in the "All Users" music folder.

I don't remember WMP automatically playing any of these, but they are
included nonetheless. I think WMP uses AMG (www.allmusic.com), not
gracenote.
