RealPlayer == RealVirus

RealPlayer sucks.

I hate RealPlayer and I wish people would stop producing RealPlayer content. Every so often I download the RealPlayer installer to look at some content that someone has foolishly published in Real format. I've done this several times in the past, and always ended up immediately removing it before even get a chance to look at the content.

It's because RealPlayer is more like a virus than real software, and has been since about the second year of its existence. Or possibly the third year, who remembers?

The problem is, you install it and it's like some kind of software spider insinuating itself into your machine to take it over for Zeus only knows what ends. It's a thoroughly despicable piece of work.

Yeah, so this is not the most informative or articulate RealPlayer complaint, but I really don't have time to do much more than just whine about it. Here is a link to a better anti-RealPlayer article, Real Obnoxious. Or you can just do a Google search on "RealPlayer sucks" and find lots and lot of links.
