Its just so sad.
Realplayer and Real Jukebox used to be my favorite.

Until they combined them into one bit spam ridden P.O.S. program that sinks its self so deep into your system registry that you can not get rid of it.

The worst part is Real decided thay my MP3 (RCA Lyra) player was no longer worth their time to support.

I am all for compitition against M$ but Real is a case study in how to NOT to win the fight.
