Is there an easy way to read Blu-ray discs on Windows?

The introduction page for libbluray kind of hints that there isn't an easy way:

Most commercial Blu-Ray are protected by AACS or BD+ technologies and this library is not enough to playback those discs.
People interested in AACS technologies should have a look at libaacs.

But don't get your hopes up for libaacs either:

this project doesn't offer any key or certificate that could be used to decode encrypted copyrighted material.

VLC should be able to play Blu-Ray's. However, they don't provide menu support as of yet. The link has the following procedure on it:

• Install the latest nightly of VLC 2.0: Go to: VideoLan,then download the latest version for your system.
• Download the Blu-ray playback addon pack from here, and install the Key file from addon pack – “KEYDB.cfg”
• Windows 8 – [place in folder named "aacs" located in appdata directory]
• Open your user area (start->”your username”)
• Enable view hidden files and folders (Organise->Folder and Search Options->View{tab} and select “show hidden files…”->select ok)
• Open “AppData” directory
• Create a folder and name it “aacs” {no quotations}
• Place the KEYDB.cfg file in this folder directly from the unzipped Blu-ray playback addon pack.
• Download Install AACS dynamic library for VLC to use: Windows 8 32/64bit: Visit here and Down Windows 8 32/64bit file in your VLC Windows 8 – [Place in VLC program directory]
• Open “Computer”
• Open “Local Disk (C:)”
• Open “Program Files” [Or "Program Files (x86)" if running 64bit]
• Navigate to “VLC” directory
• Move appropriate file from unzipped Blu-ray playback addon pack to this directory (file located in “aacs/windows 32″ directory in pack)

Now, you can easily play Blu-Ray disc with VLC on Windows 8 64-bit or Windows 8 32 bit for free. Note: VLC 2.0 still doesn’t have menu support yet.
