...when it's true. Don't want to believe us, install the update and hear for yourself.
Is sounds H O R R I B L E ! ! !
Along with a bunch of other stupid UI "improvements" that are a step backwards.
Way to go Microsoft. Just when they were making traction gaining back some credibility they lost with Windows 8 and the other bonehead moves they made, they deliver this garbage update.
Some companies never learn.

After upgrading I was watching a video and wanted to turn to increase the volume because it wasn't loud enough and sounded thin yet when I went to turn up the volume it was already maxed out!
On the UI side Microsoft is continuing to incrementally graft a Windows 8 style guide onto the existing Windows 7 UI.
This sucks for two reasons. First it's bit by bit so on any given graphic element it could be either old or new design.
Second Windows 8 was designed for a devices having a lot less horsepower than a desktop or notebook computer. So IMHO the Window 8 style guide is a step backwards.
But there are not any great alternatives. You could pay 3X the price for a Macintosh, you could pay a little less for a Chromebook that does a lot less or you could run a desktop Unix flavor if you have a degree and interest in computer science.
I think Microsoft is one price cut away from losing the majority of the consumer market. That price cut would be a really ballsy move from Apple and an admission that Apple's future profit growth is from services like icloud and their app store which I believe it is.

I confess to knowing little about video playback, but perhaps if you posted more information, such as what software you are using, how it is configured, as well as how Windows is configured, the Asylum may be able to help you out.
I recommend you post your issue in a separate thread so it doesn't get lost in this one.
One thing people overlook about Apple computers is that while they are a small fraction of the overall market, they represent the majority of the profits generated in that market. Why on earth would Apple want to shoot that Golden Goose by cutting prices? So long as enough people are happy to buy Macs at Apple's prices, and so far there seems to be, Apple would be crazy to force itself to build more products to generate the same profits.
All the Best!

"Is sounds H O R R I B L E ! ! !"
That is a judgement, not a description. Surely if something "Is sounds H O R R I B L E ! ! !" there must be myriad ways in which it fails to deliver full fidelity. Could you please describe some of these ways? Please, be specific and tell me what exactly makes these issues objectionable.
"Along with a bunch of other stupid UI "improvements" that are a step backwards."
Just out of idle curiosity, could you point out a few of these?
