Am I missing something? Sam- Here's to what I referred (from broadcast.com's front page): >> Microsoft Launches New Windows Media Player Microsoft's new Windows Media 4 features dramatically improved audio and video quality. And broadcast.com has the best selection of content available to showcase the new player. Download the player now and then visit our Windows Media Player channel to see and hear the difference. << The "Windows Media Player Channel" is located on broadcast.com. Maybe this is not a case of them presenting it as an end-all Player, and now that I think about it, it's pretty clear that Microsoft has coughed up some cash to get this kind of coverage. I just think it's notable that they are showcasing it like this. Anything for money. Could they also have agreed not to present such a showcase for Real's technology? Randy

Sam I went to the bcst site you sent us to...I downloaded the player....I installed it....it is now an icon on my desktop called broadcast.com media player.... be serious....microsoft co-branded the product and I think it will be a very eff3ective marketing tool..... Cuban is blowing a lot of hot air...he sees realguide as hard competition and while he says one thing he clearly does another...he hasn't sold out to yahoo, he sold out to msft. personally, I hate msft and i'm starting to feel the sameway about broadcast
