Windows 10 has now been available for a week and while the boot has been pretty good according to Microsoft, there are a few things that users may find chilling. While the business of the exploitation of private data has already tarnished Microsoft's image, several other small elements tend to scratch the mark.
Some time ago we learned for example that if users saw their PC crash, they would have to pay for their license even if they had obtained Windows 10 for free before. Today we learn that Microsoft's DVD player will not be free for all users. For some it will cost 14,89 euros, just that. A little stingy at Microsoft?

Microsoft's message seems clear, in Windows 10 those who have updated from Windows 7 or 8.1 with Media Center will be able to use the Microsoft DVD Player application for free in the Windows Store (in Windows 10 Windows Media Player requires installing a paid codec to play DVDs).
The problem is that if you upgraded from a Technical Preview version Windows 10, you will not be eligible and therefore either you will have to restore your machine and reinstall Windows 10 with Media Player or you will have to pay.
For those who have already paid for a Windows 10 license because they did not have not Windows 7 or 8, it is impossible to obtain the application other than by paying for it. And € 14,89 for an application that does nothing other than play DVDs, it starts a bit with numbers, doesn't it? Fortunately, there are other third-party applications that allow you to do the same and free. Eh ? What ? Did I say VLC?
