Microsoft shoots themselves in the foot again.

It costs money to include those DVD codecs, and most people dont watch DVDs on their computers.

If someone wants to play DVDs that badly, then they can go download the codecs or another media player.

Including the ability to play them has never been a standard feature in OSs.

It's a rule. Every other OS has to suck.
