I'm sick to death of this modern trend for the loosers to use the courts to try and force the winners to give them a share of the market or a share of their technology.

Years ago Betamax was a better video system but VHS was marketted better and won the race. There was no court case.

The point the commission is missing is many people want an integrated solution with everything included and no hidden extra costs. Windows provides this.

Yes I am fully computer literate I have used both MACs(Why is no one attacking Apple for their long time monopoly on this system) and Linux(Still growing up and a long way to go). I chose to use Windows because it's easy, everything is there and it suits my purposes best.

I could install real or quicktime but I have chosen not to. In my opinion Windows Media Player is by far the best.

Quicktime behaves like a Mac application, if I liked MAC behaviour I wouldn't have given my MAC away.

Real is just a massively intrusive poorly deigned spyware application.

If you want to compete provide a better value product, simple as that.
