I cant believe all this bullshit thats been happening. Google crying over instant-search. Real crying over Media player. Win users always have a choice. They can install Winamp, Bloaty RealPlayer, iTunes...anything and windows supports it fine. And if they really want to remove the windows media player component, they can do so via the add/ remove. Realnetworks, should blame themselves over a sub-standard product.
If you build a better product, users will patronize it. Firefox is such a great example.
Firefox is a great example indeed. It's been a clearly superior product for three years now, yet IE is still being used by 3 times more people. That demonstrates just how hard it is for companies to compete against MS, even with superior products. Realplayer may be crap, but who knows what great products like Firefox we're all missing out on because of the MS monopoly? That's why this is great news.
I think you might find that Firefox has been well and truely surpassed by IE7 in terms of quality and that is why it is still the number one product :)
IE7, which randomly crashes without any notice (that error reporting window)? IE7, which will not recover your previous session when it crashes, unlike Firefox? Number one? I only use it out of necessity.
uhhh, bob, IE7 is in no way surpassing firefox... it's still rubbish, and from a design perspective it STILL DOESN'T conform to web standards. some of the most basic of basics. it's buggy, security holes larger file size, slower... but sure. better somehow.. I guess because they finally added tabs?

"they can do so via the add/ remove"
Actually, you can't. It took a special install of windows to totally remove Media Player on my machine.
