Story: Microsoft denies media-player monopoly
The problem with Realplayer is that the company, with the release of realoneplaye,r started bombarding free users with junk messages that they didn't want or ask for. Since realone I have since stopped using services dependand on it and started looking for stuff using media player as there is not the same amount of junk and it is a ok program that doesn't hassel you or cost you anything to use as and end user. Basically realplayer was great untill they lost the plot and stopped giving users what they want and started pushing junk on people.
