Yeah, WMP is made by Microsoft, not available for linux, and closed-source. But I don't think we should all be pushing Real as much as we are. It's expensive, it's closed-source, and it's controlled by one company. What we really want is an open-source solution. Maybe Apple, which is pushing open-sourceness, will give us something. I know Real has that market share, but eventually we want free, open-source streaming.
I live pretty darn close to them; unfortunately I'm not getting my driver's license for another 3 months. However it would be great for someone to go into their office (to the lobby) with some printed data (evidence of copied RH mans, printout of RH running on www.linuxone.com, etc.) and see what they do. It's harder to dodge the questions in person.
