Microsoft has released an official app to play DVDs on Windows 10 — Windows DVD Player. It can be downloaded from the official Windows store. The cost of the player is $14,99 (almost 1000 rubles at current exchange rate).
Microsoft probably decided to recapture the money for pirated versions of Windows, which became after the “update license”. Official DVD player for “tens” is $ 15. The same amount will have to pay and users who have updated their operating system in an honest way.
“Customers who are upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 7 “Ultimate”, “Professional”, “Home premium or Windows 8.1 with Media Center, you will receive this app for free for a limited period of time within the next automatic Windows update”, — stated in the program description.
Windows DVD Player will allow the presence of the optical drive to fully play DVDs. The first users of the software say that its functionality is extremely small, and a stable job, it is no different.
Built-in function DVD playback in Windows 10 is absent; in Microsoft believe that these carriers are gone. The previously used version of Windows Media Center is incompatible with Windows 10, and install on your PC with a new operating system, the user will not be able.
Microsoft is not the first time pleases the monetization of their products. For disabling ads in the game “Solitaire” in Windows 10 you have to pay 89 rubles per month or 569 rubles a year.
