Story: RealNetworks cries foul over Microsoft antitrust case

Arthur,
Thanks for your comments although I have to say I disagree with them all, in their entirety.
They are also off topic.
I am able to uninstall any application from my computer.
If you cannot do the same, then you should not be a "Technical Specialist", although I am beginning to wonder what it is ,exactly, you specialise in.
The Windows Update site is there for a reason. Hence the name !
Windows users go there for updates & patches.Why should they go anywhere else !
I stand by what I have said previously.
Windows is my "chosen" operating system.
If I choose to use another media player other than the one supplied by Microsoft then I will.
However, I cannot see that happening.But the choice is available to all. And yes , I do remember W'95 & the times you mention.
I do not like real player (for many reasons) but I could still use it (or any other) on the Windows platform if I chose to.
That would be my "choice".Which is what this post is supposed to be all about.
Real Networks are up the proverbial creek without a boat, much less a paddle.
Real Networks are not good enough to get new customers & they are hanging on for dear life to keep the customers they do have.
Real Networks are losing advertising revenue by the day (in vast amounts of money) which, if you did your research you would know.
You say " Choice would be to have competitive applications available as a recommened update/upgrade on windowsupdate."
What a stupid idea. (Nothing personal).
Do Tesco sell Asda products? Do Harrods sell Woolworth products? Do Canon sell Epson products.? Wake up , for goodness sake.
I am fully aware that Windows Media Player " phones home " & I understand why.
Do you know why Real Player "phones home ". I doubt it , but as you say "What do you know".
Here's a thought.........Use Linux. You will find the Windows to Linux Migration Kit at http://www.linux.org/
