RealNetworks Sues Microsoft Over Antitrust Issues

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the not-gonna-take-it-anymore dept.

jamacdon writes "Yahoo! has an article about RealNetworks Inc. filing an antitrust suit against Microsoft, claiming that MS has violated antitrust laws. This claim appears to revolve around how PC makers are restricted from including competing media players. Very similiar to the Internet Explorer issue, but different content. Will the results be the same?"

    Oh, and as follow up, I just checked on Gateway. They also include RealPlayer in their home systems. And MusicMatch. And something called "Viewpoint Media Player", whatever that is.

    So, go ahead and post links with proof of your claims. Thanks!
