WTF? Did a Microsoft Marketing intern write that article?

The biggest deal in Windows 10 over WinXP/Win7 is MKV?
Huh?

Windows 10 supports MKV?
WinXP & Win7 don't support MKV?

Makes no sense.
At least not to me.

MKV support is not provided by the OS. It's provided by the Windows Media
Foundation library (WMF). It's the main multimedia library for the Windows
OS, and it's required by Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center, but
WMF is not required by the system. It's actually separate from the system,
and it can be removed entirely without fatally crippling the system. Unlike
MSIE where its libraries has been heavily used by the system.

Windows 10 supports h264 and MKV but has no understanding of h265
which is a fantastic, space-saving codec.


So no better than Windows 7.

Plus trivial to install free software to add support such as:
http://www.cccp-project.net/

Or Videolan (VLC) (freeware). handles MKV and h265. And runs
on XP or worse.
