Forum Administrators sct Posted February 4, 2013 Forum Administrators Posted February 4, 2013 VLC isn't updated to Windows 8 last I checked. Haha what? VLC works fine on Windows 8. You realize you aren't forced into using Metro apps right? Get something like http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/ and WIndows 8 is just as good as 7, if not better. Quote
