Anyone else who upgraded never get the download when upgrading? I feel gipped. I will admit I have VLC and can use that for free... but MS promised me a free DVD player app and I never got it.
Did you have a licensed version of Windows Media Center installed when you upgraded? If so, it's supposed to come in a Windows Update afterwards. If you did not have Windows Media Center, then the DVD software won't install. Likewise, if you upgraded with Media Center, but then performed a clean install or reset - you won't get the DVD player.
One of the two older laptops had Home Premium with Media Center. I suppose that one will get it in a later update. Oh well. I can use VLC just fine if I every play a DVD on my good laptop. Rarely play DVDs on a laptop now anyways.
At 1st, I was excited to get it (WMC Adopter). But when I to play DVD (ISO file), the app/movie doesn't run smoothly, skipping (jumping - something like that) every 5 minute. I try MPC, it's fine.
WMC never has problem with DVD file (both disc and ISO).
