Seriously, though, when did Real have a *chance* to compete? They don't have the opportunity to bundle their software with an OS, as MS does (despite the fact they've been told *not* to do this for several years now).
Nobody forced Real to go into business. Who knows, maybe, Real is under pressure to justify their failure, and are trying to deflect attention away from their own incompetence and inadequacy.
I guess you're not much on history. The MS trial is full of examples where MS used their ownership of the desktop to destroy previously competitive markets. It's not competition, when one company has the power to destroy another, simply because it can force it's product on consumers. -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
