A Metro version of VLC, the popular free and open-source media player, is coming to Windows 8. On Sunday, the VideoLAN organization reached its funding goal on Kickstarter for its Windows 8-specific app (http://thenextweb.com/apps/2012/12/23/vlc-for-windows-8-reaches-65000-funding-goal-on-kickstarter-with-five-days-to-spare/?fromcat=all). There are also plans to port it afterwards to Windows Phone 8 (http://tech.slashdot.org/story/12/12/11/147209/vlc-running-kickstarter-campaign-to-fund-native-windows-8-app). The project has now been funded by over 2,500 backers, who have pledged more than the £40,000 ($65,000) goal.
