its easy to get bummed over, this but I think the long and short of it is that within the next week or so, rnwk and msft will solve this "bug" problem, and rnwk stock will recover.

still, there is the lingering threat that windows will fold in the "media player" and try to rub off RealPlayer, but I somehow thinkt that DOJ will stop this "integration" process (yes, I am a lawyer). This is tremendous, growing pressure in the computer industry and in the legal community to stop msft.

The DOJ has assembled the world's top antitrust legal team to stop msft (David Boies and the guy who didn't make it to the supreme ct; forgot his name). It's a really impressive lineup.
