This is a response to Volitile:
I think your right about XING being blotted out of the streaming market. Apple produced a better design in its long before MS Win NT started to catch wind and started reverse engineering OS/2 and Mac design structures into their OS's.

My point: Microsoft was able to market itself better than Apple marketed its products..for different reasons that RealNetworks. But the ability to dominate the market at the right time, while at the same time vastly improving your technology, is a major advantage in that you can gain name recognition as well as set industry standards. Mas are damn good OS's, but Microsoft played the cards better. I am an NT "fan", though the technology behind NT has existed with OS/2, Mac, and Unix for years. I think RealNetworks is kind of like Microsoft in the sense that it has the opportunity to take the market "by storm' and make itself the MS Windows of the Streaming / Audio, Vidoe delivery market. I like this company, and I like this stock. :)
