Yeah, I hate when there's only one option, too. That's why I avoid Microsoft software whenever possible.

I believe you can configure Media Player to play Real clips. It includes filters for their formats. Unfortunately, you can't set it as the default player through options, but you could change it through "File Types", or do it the easy way and reinstall. I don't have it set up that way, because I'd rather use the player made by the format maker. I prefer audio served in Microsoft Media format. It often sounds better to my ear. Unfortunately, video in Microsoft Media format has never worked on my machine. I've tried various things to fix it, but have never been able to get it to work properly. Real format video works just fine, so if someone offers only MS Video, I'm out of luck.
