Windows 10 DVD player is $15

There’s no ‘Media Center’ edition of Windows 10, and there’s no DVD player software included with Windows 10. Now comes word that you can purchase the Windows 10 DVD player from the Windows Store for $14.99. If you’re considering doing this, please don’t. Instead, download and install the excellent, freeware VLC Player, which aside from being able to play just about any media you can throw at it, can also play DVDs.

Update 2015Aug11: Apparently, if you upgrade from a Media Center version of Windows to Windows 10, you are warned about the features you’re about to lose. Better still, you will apparently be credited with a free copy of the Windows 10 DVD player, so you should be able to install it from the Windows Store for free.
