Re: I can't wait......
Has to be from sales of the software to provide the Real feeds that no-one uses

Advertising, media contracts, etc. Also, Dell has a bundling package with them.

RealPlayer sucks.
I can't see why people are complaining, WM9 is the only one worth having and it's free and comes with Windows.
Sure to get it to run Quicktime and Real stuff you need to bang some codecs into it, but I'd rather piss around with codecs than have Quicktime or RealPlayer installed.

Yes it works. Something "working" simply means doing what it was designed to do.
It was designed to destroy your soul, make your life a living hell and generally lower the standard of living on this planet. Of course it works.

It's more functional, it doesn't install loads of crap on your pc, it looks better.
If your only judging criterion is 'It runs .rm files' then RP might be better, but that's only assuming you haven't gotten the codec pack that lets you run them in WMP.

Winamp For music.... (why use anything else)
VideoLan for films.

Re: I can't wait......
If it's a .wmv file it opens in WMP. If it's a .mpg file it opens in Quicktime. I don't especially care which as they both do exactly the same thing - play the movie. RealPlayer is crap and annoying though :/
iTunes for .mp3's btw.
