lol

The $15 fee is way too high (especially for something that feature-incomplete), but Microsoft really does have to pay extra to give people a DVD (or Blu-Ray) decoder, thanks to the silly world of codec licensing fees.

the codecs for widely-distributed media like this really should be free

though even beyond that, the whole it's tied to upgrading from 7/8 and if you do a clean install or reinstall 10 then you'll lose the dvd player. (Not that there's not better free alternatives)

I only just installed the Windows 10 update last night when I went to bed, then after I woke up this morning, I tried it out for a whole 5 minutes before deciding there was stuff I needed to do in Linux and rebooted

In my short time with trying out Win10 for the first time, I think it so far seems like a nice improvement over 8.1 and 7, and of course the first thing I did was remove that Cortana search bar which takes up like a third of the taskbar.

[spoiler]Even though my job is updating our software so that Windows 10 (and all other recent OSes) can run on it, I haven't actually used Windows at work for months[/spoiler]

I don't trust any microsoft browser not to have ridiculous vulnerabilities even if they completely rewrite the codebase.
