Computer Store News Last weekend, Microsoft announced that all Windows 8 versions will offer Windows Media Player media players, but DVD playback is no longer supported. In other words, Microsoft no longer has to pay for Windows 8 for DVD licenses. Does this mean that Windows 8 will sell for less than Windows 7?
If Microsoft saves DVD-related licensing fees, would you consider reducing the price of Windows 8 to Windows 7? This is not entirely impossible. Previously, Apple had significantly reduced the price of the Mac system, and Microsoft is likely to take the same move.
It should be noted that although Windows Media Player media player does not support DVD playback, Windows Media Center still supports this feature. However, considering industry changes, decoding license fees, and version planning, Windows 8 will no longer have a Windows Media Center media center built in. Users need to get it through the “Add Features to Windows 8” control panel (also known as the previous Windows Anytime Update). .
Microsoft offers Windows Media Center access to the following two ways:
Whether it's buying a Windows 8 Media Center Pack or a Windows 8 Professional Pack (prices are not yet announced) You can get Media Center. Windows Media Center supports DVD playback, broadcast TV recording and playback (DBV-T/S, ISDB-S/T, DMBH, ATSC) and VOB file playback.
Users who want to play DVDs can purchase the Windows 8 Media Center Pack or Professional Edition from Microsoft or purchase third-party software.
In addition to eliminating the DVD license fee, Windows 8 also added a way to make money, which is the Windows Store app store. In each transaction, Microsoft will charge a 20% fee. If Microsoft wants to attract more users to use Windows 8 to make more profit in app transactions, then slightly lowering the price of Windows 8 is not a bad idea.
What is the price of Windows 8? It is still unknown, according to Microsoft, the price will be announced before the official release of Windows 8, and everyone will wait patiently.
