RNWK embraces LINUX

Strong rumors persist that a top level RNWK executive has joined the staff of GLMC. I wouldn't regard this as a defection, but more of a marriage of royalty for political gain. GLMC brings their award winning Linux application (beat out RHAT and CORL) to Real Networks and to streaming media and e-commerce, and RNWK brings the RBN to GLMC. While I'm sure that Real would be willing to work with YHOO and compete alongside MSFT, the fact is that Linux offers a formidable challenge to the never monopolistic Microsoft in regards to streaming media, content, and e-commerce. And the just completed Linux based Global Player, built by RNWK and GLMC, also offers a challenge to AMZN, a principle client of the Yahoo Broadcast network.

Here's the link to the Linux Journal paper.
