There's a reason why products like RealAlternative and QuickTimeAlternative exist
Realplayer and Quicktime are those reasons.

Plus I think a lot of people resent the fact that they were a driving force for all the ridiculous EU sanctions on Microsoft.

I never liked Real because they always tried to put too much crap on my computer. I'd download the player and my homepage would change, and trial software would appear, and ads for other software would end up in my bookmarks. Some websites used to use Realplayer for streaming media, but most have thankfully switched to Flash or Windows Media.

Don't know about now, but RealPlayer used to put a lot of adware and hijack-ware on my computer. So did Gator. I had a major reformat to do to get rid of them. Websites that only use RealPlayer are ones that I just have to miss. Will not touch it w/a ten-foot pole.

Yea, I'm not having Realplaer anywhere close to my computer. It has only every caused problems and tried to forcefeed my computer with adware, spyware and other crap.
