RealNetwork sued MS for "playing it unfairly" and integrating Windows Media Player to its Operating Systems, which decreased the sals of "RealOne Player", but looking at the same reason, but a different topic, won't they get sued by Google if they integrate "the future MSN search" with Longhorn? ;)

this is gonna be fun to watch...

Oh Boy here we go again.... hold on folks its a bumpy ride now.

I thought the decreased sales would be because the real player is spam. :)

[Strange]

No.. the decreased sales are because the real player is a subpar product... with lots of spam. ;-)

Real seems to be getting desperate. I work in this industry and what's funny is that whenever you mention Real's flaws to RealNetworks executives and why people think Real sucks and won't install the player, etc., instead of listening, they pretend that there's nothing wrong.

Yeah, unfair advantage, and it has nothing to do with :buffering....buffering...buffering..buffering...

I wish I could sue RealNetwork for integrating a media player with my spam.

Bastards ;)

Spam would be a polite terms to use for RealPlayer.. it's a useless piece of junk that takes forever to load & crashes PC's.

yeah, I like QuickTime player as my "Default" player to playing AVI, WAV, MP3 files , and this RealCrazy player keeps bothering me to set it as the default player. I only have it installed on my computer because you need it to play RAM files, if you could play RAM files with another player, RealOne, would be RealGone right now!
