My first reaction to this article was the same, oooh look, someones revenue is drying up, lets do what those clever SCO people are doing and start sueing.
That said i don't particularly like Windows Media Player (although its nothing near as awful as Real).
I disagree, i've found that while Internet Explorer is certainly the first browser that springs to peoples minds now, saying Netscape still gets the point across (moreso than saying browser or browsing software actually, which always seems to get me that big, whuh?, stare).
Ditto. Intrusive, annoying and bloated. Thankfully most sites are taking the hint and making any content that is available in rm files also available in some other form. It certainly does feel like a last ditch effort to scrabble for relevance.

You can't completely remove WMP, unfortunately, just make it hide in the background. Spot on about Real though.
True, but does the average joe really pay attention to things like this that don't directly impinge apon their own little world?
