VLC for Windows 8 was finally made_available_in the Windows Store, in beta form, just a few days ago. _The initial release contained a number of bugs including one that crash the app on startup. _An update to fix this issue along with improving the stability of the app has been submitted to the Windows Store. _President of VideoLan Jean-Baptise Kempf gave us an update on his blog: After the_first beta release_a couple of days ago, a second build fixing the most important crashes has been submitted to the store, for certification. It should notably fix the crash on start, on some machines, but other stability issues, on the music side too! We’d like to thank the new contributors that helped. It should appear automagically in a few hours on the_store. Next release, next week! Hopefully these rapid updates continue. Source: Jean-Baptise Kempf
