Okay, so I hope others see your real motives. Don't upgrade. You paid $0 for Windows 10, had absolutely no expectations about it when you apparently bought Windows 7, and now it's a "disaster" because an unused feature was openly and clearly removed. Give me a break. This sort of "take a shit on everything" attitude is one of the worst facets of HN, and your comments in particular exemplify them. Don't upgrade. Move on.

Or upgrade and download VLC.

  VLC, in my experience, plays 90%+ of DVDs perfectly (actually better, since now everything is skippable and you get significantly more rendering options than any other player). The few DVDs which malfunction are typically published by Disney in the last few years and contain DRM specifically designed to break unlicensed players. VLC have been very active in fixing these issues, and have in many cases. But if people plan on using VLC just be aware that the rare DVD won't work well or at all. Still the best DVD playing software I've used, including paid software.

Says the account created 4 days ago in his 4th comment on the site. Hello Microsoft puppet? It's still a disaster for me because of what was once called Metro. It's my own opinion, you can like it, no problem.

    Really though, he does seem like a marketing puppet... I have to say the title of this posting is pretty suspect when combined with the account creation date. Edit: Ohh, green means new it doesn't mean poster. Well, who cares.

      Really though, he does seem like a marketing puppet... Because I question the importance of DVD playing ability relative to an enormous, free release? Give me a break. I suppose this mean that you and acqq must work for Apple or Google or some other competitor that is trying to undermine Microsoft. By your logic, that is just as, if not more, rational.

        The irony being of course, as an Apple owner myself, that Apple kept the app, and removed the entire drive.
