Every computer I've bought in the last 2 years has SOME kind of DVD
PLAYER program included in the software bundle, such as InterVideo...

If you buy a pre loaded computer from a big time store (such as Compusa)
You'll get what you need in the bundle...

If you buy a bare bones bargain computer or build your own, the you'll
have to supply ALL software to make it fly...
