Basically, Microsoft's Windows Media Player will hack into future profits from RealPlayer sales. IMO, Microsoft's Windows Media Player is a better product. I am connected by cable modem and find the quality of MSFT's media player superior to the real player. The real threat though is iCast, which is using the windows media player as the streaming technology for the *iCaster* news.cnet.com RNWK is to cocky for their own good, their burning bridges left and right. I recently sold all my shares of RNWK (which I'd been holding for over a year) at 156. The only thing that can save RNWK is some kind of deal with AOL, which is very posible and would no doubt stop the slide. Bong
