Congratulations on a fine Project Hunt contribution, Noah. I thought I'd say that first, before I asked you any tough questions <gg>. I feel I understand rnwk much better after reading your report. We've discussed them on several occasions over the last year, but like you, were unable to find any protective barriers to entry or high switching costs. However, they have managed to make RealPlayer a defacto standard, and their biggest threat, msft, has failed to come up with a viable product.

That leads to my question. If memory serves, msft recently licensed RealPlayer for WebTV. Do you have any idea how long that particular contract will last? Seems to me Mr. Softee capitulated when they signed that agreement. What's your assessment?
