They already made the 360 owners use a metro dashboard forcibly and now they're also putting it on Windows 8 (although it seems like it can be disabled, dunno really), although touchscreen computers and tablets seem to be pretty trendy nowadays, I see no reason to try and make people use this, a dashboard like this just doesn't seem right with the 360 or a mouse, and heck, what makes PC games so amazing, besides being obviously more powerful, it's the fact that you can use a keyboard and a mouse... And to think I was so excited for it when they announced Project Midori (if Windows 8 is Midori, I'm giving up on Microsoft).I can't remember the last time I played a DVD on my computer. Hell, I can't remember the last time I used my disc drive on my computer.
Still, Windows 8 is shaping up to just be a more inferior version of 7 designed for tablets. I doubt any Windows 7 user will upgrade to Windows 8 honestly. I'm guessing it's trying to streamline Windows across tablets, smartphones, computers, and possibly their next gaming console.
Nothing, because it's unrelated.I didn't use my PC to play DVD's, but I will say this
since everyone at the moment is shitting themselves about stopping piracy, what exactly is taking away the ability to play DVD's going to do?
Not affected at all. This news refers to playing DVD videos only. The actual discs will still be readable by Windows computers, they just won't ship with the software to decode video DVDs.Like, what about games that use the DVD format?
VHS? Who are you, a hippie?I'm still bitter over the continued lack of VHS support.
Come on, Microsoft, get with the times already!
Dang, really does make a difference.VLC is total crap, the codecs are bloated and work crappily most of the times.Who the hell uses media center anyway ? VLC is where its at
Media Player Classic is where it is, when it comes to media players.
