Microsoft gets into media player groove | |

As computer users download more music and videos from the Internet, companies are jostling to provide the software they need to listen and watch. Microsoft, the No. 1 software maker, expects to vanquish RealNetworks in media players — the browser-like tool used to manipulate Web-delivered audio and video digital files — just as it steamrolled Netscape Communications in the browser wars. But RealNetworks is proving more resilient than Netscape. And Apple Computer is moving to widen its small slice of the media player market. | ||

One day, consumers will wake up to how horrible they're being treated by Real (spyware, disclousure of personal information to 3rd parties, etc) and they'll flock to MS and Apple.
Of course, then the lawsuits begin because it couldn't POSSIBLY be Real's fault they drove their own product into the ground. |

| Real? Are they still in business? I wouldn't know, as this month marks my 2 year anniversary of being Real free. RAM that! |

| Still in business? Do you know of any other media company that has 600,000 paying subscribers? Not that I'm a fan of Real by any means, but they are a long way from dead. |
