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?

....not likely considering that the typical method for Windows robustly
supporting a wide array of audio and video formats is to emply LINUX
SOFTWARE. This is one area in particular where the Free Software community
does a great service to EVERYONE including Windows and Mac users.

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.

....and those will likely just be the same collection of free software that powers VLC.

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.

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