XP Should Have DVD & Other Apps

[Guest]

Just curious as to why Microsoft didn't include their own
DVD player software in Media Player? Did the other
companies like WinDVD or PowerDVD not let Microsoft put
one in Windows. I hope Longhorn has one built in.
Microsoft should also build in their own PDF viewer, anti-
virus software and their media player would play alll
media file formats including Real Player and Quicktime.
I know third party apps are available but I think it
would be cool, so you could just install Windows and
Office and thats it on your PC. I guess MS would put
alot of companies out of business if theiy did all of
that.

Every time MS ads a function to Windows that is also done
by 3rd party software, the Windows version is not so
great. Isn't Windows already bloated enough?

I'm not a troll just saying what I think I would want
added to XP. I like XP and Office.

And you're a stupid troll. I doubt even the MicroFaithful around here want
to see much more added to the base OS.

For free? or do you want them to force some people to pay for apps they
don't like?

A matter of licensing. It would have involved Microsoft laying out a
substantial fee for every machine - many of which will never want to
play a DVD movie. Also in MSoft seeming to be playing favorites as
between suppliers, which it would not want in the present legal cases.
It is strongly arguable hat WMP should not be included *at all* as being
an application that should be provided outside the provision of an OS,
as for example, Office is

I'd like them to be free. I'd also like to
report "kurttrail"
(e-mail address removed) as a Troll ban
him from this web site. He keeps calling me a Troll. I
didn't think my post was Trolling. I like Microsoft
products.

Because every customer would have to pay royalities, incl most who don't use it. MS already pays lots of royalities on your behalf (to view jpeg files for one).

If lots of people start playing DVD on their computers then they'll include it and increase the price. Most people use a DVD player and a TV. But if MS included it they'll have to pay for something they don't use.

Want one of my real email address, go to http://kurttrail.com. You can find
another at the link in my sig too.

"Mommy, Mommy! That evil "kurttrail" called me a bad name! Boohoo!
Boohoo! I like Microsoft products. How else am I supposed to bend over and
take it up the poop-shoot, now that the Catholic Church is cracking down on
the their Priests! Help me, Mommy! Boohoo! Boohoo!"

Why! Because I point the truth, and that shakes the foundations of your

Sorry, this group really needs my Moderating services. To keep you

The CDO deal is the worst _FEATURE_ that ever happened to these
