Fuzzy thinking
The only outcome desired by the Microsoft enemies that bring these cases is the "right" to get their hand in your pocket the same as Microsoft's. If they can get Microsoft to quit providing a free media player, they can charge $50 for their own. But who wins and loses here? Not me, I know. Microsoft is still going to charge their $50 to the OEM for Windows and RealNetworks or someone is going to add to that for their media player. Or for some other functionality.
