RE
You know how many freaking security fix emails I get for my Red Hat 9? FAR MORE than I do on my Windows box. In fact...I have two in my inbox from yesterday. And now...tell me how you get that RealPlayer is tied to the OS. Nobody is sure of that, and I can almost gaurentee you as a developer that being a commercial product they write their own music libraries. Read the security bulletin, I'm sure they aren't using a win api to play their own file format...I love Linux, don't get me wrong. But you zealots drive me insane. I don't see how someone of your grammer and maturity could own a company.
