Not to mention how unstable VLC (or Media Player Classic) is in many respects (I know, I've been testing how audio players handle playlists I've been writing from code and VLC is pretty terrible at that compared to other things). Even in my upgrade to Windows 8.1, I discovered after the fact that it broke my DVD player app which worked fine for me in XP. I haven't had a good option to play DVDs on my computer since. But, PROGRESS!!! you don't need a computer to play dvds or videos you need it for Facebook and to feed MS and the NSA your digital life.
