„After recovering from the horrible shock of finding Microsoft don't bundle a DVD player with Windows XP, I looked around for alternatives. My first choice was to try VLC for Windows , since I use VLC happily in Linux and Mac OS X, and it's free. It didn't want to play DVDs.“

Why to keep older versions of MS software
cul on 2003/02/26:
„Windows Media Player 8, which comes with Microsoft's Windows XP, contacts a Microsoft Web server each time a new DVD is played on a computer. The server is given a unique fingerprint for the DVD and the media player client, allowing Microsoft to track what movies are watched on a particular PC, Smith wrote in his advisory posted at http://www.computerbytesman.com/privacy/wmp8dvd.htm .“

Windows Media Player is potential
Chris Barrus on 2002/02/20:
„The new version of Windows Media Player maintains a logfile of all the media (digital video and DVD, digital audio and CD) that each user plays on it, much like a browser's cache. Unlike a browser-cache, however, WMP talks to a centralized server every time you insert new media and transmits a unique identifier number that could be stored and sold to marketers (though MSFT says they won't be doing this). And like a history file, the media player's file can be the source of embarassment if spouses, parents, employers, kids, etc get into it and discover your dirty little viewing and listening habits.“
