Their player is a royal PITA. They are losing the market, and it’s not Microsoft’s fault. It’s their own fault.

The process to download and install the free RealPlayer is now an exercise in stealth (see if you can actually find the free version to download) and tedium (now unckeck all these boxes to avoid being spammed, don’t forget to scroll down the page). Then, and only then, if you actually get past the install, manage to avoid getting 15 links splattered across your desktop, start menu and who knows where else, then you get …drumroll… a whole new source of pop-ups!

And everyone knows how this story ends.
