Two Microsoft executives on Monday brushed aside allegations from rival RealNetworks that Microsoft uses its Windows operating system to gain an unfair advantage in music player programs. In earlier testimony in the antitrust hearings involving Microsoft, RealNetworks vice president David Richards said Microsoft's latest Windows XP operating system favors Microsoft's media player over RealNetworks products, sometimes over customer objections. Microsoft official Linda Averett said RealNetworks' latest product, RealOne, has fewer of the problems cited by Richards.
