Comment
Having a legitimate copy of 'Master and Commander' on DVD which I play through PowerDVD on an XP machine I was really brasssed off when I discovered that it would not play after the SP2 update had been applied.
I do know why this happened but it should not have and caused me time waste trying to find a fix. Redmond should have considered the angles that lead to the failure. Any claim that PowerDVD is not their responsibility would be to miss the point.
Excellent! Way to push more people towards open so...
