15% drop !hope this helps. RealNetworks' (RNWK) stock plunged more than 6 points as its Chairman & CEO Glaser, a former
Microsoft (MSFT) employee, testified against the software giant before a U.S. Senate Committee...
Glaser noted that "in a number of circumstance where the consumer already had our (RealNetworks)
product, Microsoft's product, Media Player, in effect breaks our product.".. Glaser also expressed
concern that MSFT was about to add Media Player to Windows 98... Threat of competition behind
stock's retreat... However, Briefing sees pullback as good (re)entry opportunity as we expect RNWK
to maintain its leadership position in the streaming media market.

Go to aol type control 5, type news, type rnwk, read how rnwk ceo testified how windows 98 disables real player and loads microsoft's
version instead, only the beginning, last year msft had 6% browser share, think it's 48% now, just a matter of time until evil empire comes for rnwk market share also.
