Even though Microsoft just announced Windows 10, developer VideoLAN is already preparing to launch its VLC media player app for the unreleased operating system. The app will work with Windows 8 and 8.1 as well so you won’t need to download the Windows 10 Technical Preview to use it.
VLC already exists for Windows 8 as a Universal App, one that works across desktops and tablets. The teased screenshot shows a completely redesigned VLC media player with a persistent navigation column. Overall, the design looks easier to use and better organized than the Windows 8 version.
VideoLAN claims the app is ready and will appear in the store “in a few days (hopefully).” We’ll update you when the app is available to download.
