Windows 8 Drops DVD Playback Option

According to Windows engineering team, the upcoming Windows 8 will not have the optical discs playback support. The new OS will still have Windows Media Player, however end users will not be able to playback DVD movies with it. Windows 8 will allow end users the option to install a Windows Media Center upgrade to allow DVD playback at extra cost, though Microsoft is not saying exactly how high that cost will be.
