2. You can’t playback DVDs: Windows announced that it would be cutting out the support for DVD playback from its Windows Media Player, and supported its move saying that most users watch streamed content from online sources such as YouTube and Hulu. This way, the company would be cutting costs related to maintaining the codecs required for discs, and following the path that ultrabooks, netbooks, and tablets have paved since they don’t have disc-related hardware. Microsoft suggested that customers who wanted DVD support could use third-party software that was compatible with Windows 8.
