I had ditched realplayer many years ago, before I started keeping
detailed records of my experience with different software. At the time
I was still using Windows, and starting Realplayer was a reliable way
of crashing the OS. There were usability issues as well, in the rare
instances where it would run. I think, but I am not certain, that
Realplayer would be rather intrusive with it's advertising and
installation methods as well. Maybe it is time that I give Realplayer
a second chance on a modern OS, or at the least, maybe it is time that
I curb my slander of the company before updating my facts.
