Davenport, FL | Of course MLB would use something else Why would anyone want to use Real anyway?
Their crap has become the AOL of media players now... virus-laden junk with poor stability and even worse quality.
Seriously, if MLB wanted a good service, they should have gone with either quicktime or windows media. Choosing real is a literal spit in the face.

| /. had an article about how Real failed itself. Alot of the comments made were the same as here.
They do have a POS program and spyware to boot.

What in the world do you mean when you say that the Real Player is "virus laden?"
Just to be sure, I scanned my copy of the executable file and it is clean. It is NOT virus laden.
I don't like Real Player either, but such hyperbole doesn't help the discussion. |

Davenport, FL | That crap on install is a virus. How else can you explain its insistence and bitching unless you make it the default for EVERYthing that you open, and all the blatant ads that pop up within the player, as well as all the other crap it tries to do on startup?
Geez christ, I still have chills of when I first installed Realshittyone. That thing single-handedly hosed an otherwise solid-running machine! 
Never again!

Actually, the new Real 10 does absolutely none of that..but it took them a mighty long time to change it. |

I don't see Microsoft making Windows Media player for Linux, yet Real Player supports mulitple operating systems.
While it can consume a lot of CPU, I'm no real (no pun intended) fan of Micro$oft Media player either. |

1 edit | Well as stated elsewhere on slashdot, XMMS is a far superior media player for linux.
Even XMMS takes alot of process, its because of the decoding, which is a mathmatical burdon on the processor. |
