What we are saying with RP 10 is that we have been listening to our users, and our latest product is a better-behaved application.
For instance, during install, the application asks users what files they want RealPlayer to play. User makes selection, clicks O.K. That's it, you've made your decision. The Player doesn't take mime types away from other applications.
There are other examples, like there are no background services that run unless the user selects them.
1. Yup, we read/. 2. Yup, during install, the user can choose to set up a shortcut for AOL. AOL is not installed. 3. During install, you're given the option of starting up the player on install or not.

RP 10 has no adware and it's up to the user if they want to have the Player be in contact with RN for updates and the like.
Yup, I work for RN.
Right, the point you have made is historical.

No, not the honest truth.
You are talking about the RealOne Player. The new player is RealPlayer 10, and it has fewer executables.
We've deliberately worked at reducing the resource load.

So, we've put our money where our mouth is.
...and you're saying this occurs w/RP 10, right? hardly who works at RN.
