And will likely do a better job of implementing both than GNU/Linux.

Excellent news... and hopefully it will push Apple to do the same. On this,
though, MS is ahead of Apple.

Have you noticed how windows 10 looks like linux? And some of the features
they are implementing are already used on the kde desktop interface.
so how do you think they are implementing flac and mkv support.

You do know that some years ago Microsoft brought into opensuse.
Why do you think they done that?

VLC will play both formats in Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8. So, BFD.

More than that - install any one of several widely available free codec
packs and any player will play them.

....not likely considering that the typical method for Windows robustly
supporting a wide array of audio and video formats is to emply LINUX

does a great service to EVERYONE including Windows and Mac users.

Well maybe, but I find more bugs in VLC than I do if I just install
Combined Community Codec Pack and play in Media Player Classic Home Cinema.

VLC tends to be buggy but mPlayer is even worse.
The latest version of VLC has been working fine for me though.
Under Windows 8.1 of course.

My wife uses MPlayerX and we have been seeing a lot of going to gray for up
to 5 seconds or so... rather annoying. Maybe I should test VLC on her system
again. I forget why she did not like it but she used to use it and moved
away from it.

You need to be using VLC in Linux, then. :-)

He will spend so much time trying to make Linux function that he
won't have time to mess with VLC.

The only problem I can remember with the current VLC 2.1.5 was that I
found a video file where seeking back and forth in it totally failed
taking me to somewhere totally different from where I wanted. Media
Player Classic Home Cinema played it perfectly.

Not so long ago I remember many versions of VLC on Windows couldn't even
play an audio CD without crashing. It was like the developers weren't
talking to each other, it would get fixed for one version and the next
version it'd be broken again. I think it was the 2.0.x versions.

For formal viewing, I'd use smplayer over mplayer.

But mplayer is good for previewing movies and songs, or if I feel too lazy
to move my mouse to a menu entry.

Never had many issues with mplayer or VLC, really.

Could never stand Windows Media Player. A grotesque UI.

I suppose some of the variation between Boston drivers and the rest of the
country is due to the progressive Massachusetts Driver Education Manual which
I happen to have in my top desk drawer. Some of the Tips for Better Driving
are worth considering, to wit:

[131.16d]:
"Directional signals are generally not used except during vehicle
inspection; however, a left-turn signal is appropriate when making
a U-turn on a divided highway."

[96.7b]:
"When paying tolls, remember that it is necessary to release the
quarter a full 3 seconds before passing the basket if you are
traveling more than 60 MPH."

[110.13]:
"When traveling on a one-way street, stay to the right, so as not
to interfere with oncoming traffic."
