Microsoft never said WMC would support Blu-ray playback. The only mention of Blu-ray was in the discussion about Microsoft's decision not to support DVD OOTB. Their reasoning is that OEMs generally package DVD or Blu-ray playback software with the system anyway.

Arcsoft Total Media Theatre 5 is much, much better than PowerDVD. I've tried both. I recommend TMT5.

I'd use TMT or VLC.
