Once again, for the chicken hawks out there who think MSFT can do without RealNetworks so easily ... cnnfn.com New IE to feature RealGuide Browser version 5.0 said to include clip guide from Microsoft rival March 17, 1999: 8:46 a.m. ET NEW YORK (CNNfn) - The new version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser will include an audio and video clip guide from RealNetworks, a former collaborator and current rival to the software publisher, according to a report published Wednesday. The Wall Street Journal said the deal is significant because of the battle between Microsoft (MSFT) and RealNetworks (RNWK) over Internet streaming media players. Microsoft recently ended a technology sharing relationship with RealNetworks and is selling its 10 percent stake in the company. The new browser also is said by the Journal to include a feature from Alexa Internet that identifies Web links related to the subject on the screen and restores lost links. It also will feature specialized toolbars from information providers, including Microsoft Network and the New York Times, as well as a junk e-mail filter and improved video-conferencing technology. The Journal said the new browser is generating little of the controversy that existed in earlier rounds of its browser war with Netscape Communications. Microsoft, after starting well behind Netscape, has surpassed its rival in browser share in recent years, although a shift may occur once Netscape's acquisition by America Online is complete. Microsoft shares closed up 3-3/16 Wednesday to 169-1/16. RealNetworks closed down 6-1/4 at 115. home \| digitaljam \| contents \| search \| stock quotes \| help Copyright © 1999 CNN America, Inc.

Great analysis, radames, but you forgot one thing: The laws of supply and demand. With BCST gone, there is only one prom queen left on the dance card. If Glaser should agree to sell, RNWK will now command much more than BCST. Even today, the premium could reach $2B. No kidding. The Street hasn't even begun to appreciate the shortage of streaming media players, have you? Our advice: cover quickly... BAM

Tomorrow Considering a spot in a majority of households. I find it hard to believe that the people at Real Networks are gonna give up at this point. The Internet hasn't even started yet. Who wants to sit on the sidelines? Why not stay to see the 2nd and 3rd parts of the show.

And if you are short RNWK when they announce their 2 - 1 split, you will be 30 points behind before you can ever get a trading screen up in front of you. Dangerous short you have here.
