New Ha!
"We believe our business would be substantially larger today if Microsoft were playing by the rules," said Real's founder and former Microsoft executive Rob Glaser in a statement.

I believe their business would be substantially larger today if their product actually worked and didn't fill up my machine with endless ad-ware.

Multimedia on the PC is a joke - WMP blows chunks and Real is a trojan.




"I believe that many of the systems we build today in Java would be better built in Smalltalk and Gemstone."

     -- Martin Fowler, JAOO 2003
New One thing about Real
if they really want to try to compete, one good way would be to make players for a lot more platforms than they do. If they can show that using real means you can reach the Windows AND Linux guys, while MP means you can only reach the Windows guys, companies looking for that sort of thing will have competitive advantage using Real. However, instead they're tying their players tighter and tighter to Windows... older version work well under Odin on Warp, but newer versions don't because they're tied to Internet Explorer. Considering that all they need to do is open a socket and stream some data, that's Just Dumb.

New Not very useful
The Real codecs are binary releases only, compiled for "a wide variety of platforms". What do you think the chances that warp is or will be one of them?
