Buy a new DVD drive for Windows and get a "free" copy of WinDVD? It's included in the price of the drive, and in that price is the fee for the licensing of all the technologies involved, from DVD decryption to simply reading the DVD by the drive.

I know you're not meaning it, but you're basically saying "I've bought this DVD, and I should have a free dvd device to play this"
I agree it does sound like I'm saying that, it just seems to me that these people are getting more & more greedy every day, How many times do they want to be paid for the same thing? I have a film (paid for) I have a DVD drive including player software (licensed & paid for) I choose to use a different OS that doesn't need the licensed software so I'm a criminal? I'm not the one charging twice for a product am I?
