Comments on: Glaser on finding harmony with Microsoft

RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser tells CNET News.com how he finally buried the competitive hatchet with longtime rival Bill Gates.

Onya Rob, what about Real's player

Way to "spyware-esq" for my liking. At least with competitors like WMP or MusicMatch we get a choice.

Unless you have vastly improved the Real Player I won't be touching it.

Another Joke

>Apple is a company that is not very open

Wow Glaser, there's the pot calling the kettle black. Last time I checked, Real and Microsoft were as closed as Apple. Here's a concept, instead of ad hominem attacks on Apple, why don't you focus on building a reliable quality product instead of the spyware-junk you foist on the public?

desperation

this is glaser's last desperate move to reach some level of significance. my prediction - he's out in a year, real gets purchased by ms! no more real!

A marriage made in jail.

Rob Glaser is a pathetic Bill Gates wannabe. They deserve each
other. A marriage made in jail.

Real Networks is irrelevant

As has been for years, which is why they had to dredge the bottom of law and file an "anti-trust" suit.

What you cannot achieve in a free market you can always convince some stupid jury of, if you confuse them enough.

And frankly Microsoft deserves it, having given in every single time in the past, set them up to have every Tom, Dick and Harry sue them for anti-trust. "Hey, they rolled over for THESE guys, let's sue them too and get a nice fat check."
