    from what I see, the onus of fixing it lies on the Microsoft side. And from what I know about Microsoft, they won’t do a thing.

    Are we just going to pretend Microsoft didn’t do this in purpose? They see VLC as a far superior product to their own software, so they purposely made it run like shit to make morons like Blow here switch back to media player. This is pretty poor behaviour from what is supposed to be an operating system.

      This is how Microsoft does business

      Its how they’ve been doing business since its inception some 5 odd decades ago

      Its why I’ve hated them all my life

      Hell, look into Linux sco Microsoft

      Microsoft is a bunch of criminals in a suit

      They’ve been doing this shit for years. Windows 3 had the AARD code, windows 9x would throw fake bluescreens if QuickTime was installed, and so on and so on.
