RealNetworks has joined the European Union and is suing Micro$loth Corporation for the monopoly of their Media Player that is integrated in Windows and almost every other MS product now.

As shitty and intrusive RealNetwork software is, their case is a good one and anything that slaps Billy boy in the face puts a smile on mine.   :D

Yeah, RealPlayer has that stupid box that pops up in the corner of the screen.  :mad:
However, perhaps if M$ didn't do all that it did against RealPlayer, it would have been a better program.

I miss RealPlayer G2.  :(   That was probably the best one.
