.. any remember RealNetworks?

I still suffer nightmares from it.

Just the other day I really wanted to watch an online presentation, yet it insisted I installed realplayer. I was considering it, as I really wanted to watch this particular presentation, but unfortunately I just could not bring myself to going through that again.

I also would never install realplayer. Real alternative + vlc has worked for everything I've tried.

The BBC has a special version of RealPlayer that doesn't have the adware or nag screens: http://www.bbc.co.uk/webwise/categories/plug/real/newreal.sh...
