Actually, I'm rather the opposite.
I'd have preferred they left support for any video codec (and device, in the case of things like DVD and Blu-Ray) out of the OS entirely. If I *want* to watch movies on my PC, regardless of the format, then I'll install the appropriate bits needed to watch the movies. The OS should not be the be-all and end-all of everything. It should be the framework upon which I can hang whatever I want. It should be lean, streamlined, and efficient, not bloated and overgrown with solutions for problems that I might not have.
So I'm glad there's no Blu-Ray support, even if the reason for it isn't good sense but instead corporate greed on someone else's part.
