The annoyance is incredible, I told it not to put any shortcuts anywhere, and
what happens? I spreads the pest all over. I'm glad I gave them a crap email,
otherwise I'd probably receive a shitload of crap. I'll uninstall the crap, and
install an alternative.
I remember when Real networks were pioneering streaming audio--and like
everyone else, loved the new novel, convenient technology. They also seemed to
pioneer, or at least mainstream, spyware, popup adware and other unbearably
intrusive means of supporting themselves. Like many, I quickly dismissed the
software and moved on. To their credit, however, in recent years they've taken
strides to clean up their act and offer a generally solid freeware player with
support for a great number of file formats. While not necessarily the ideal
software solution for an avid geek, it is an accessible option for those simply
looking for something easy to get and use with little effort.
