Subject: RE: auto installation of real player
I agree. We are an internet startup that has managed to stay away from
plugins with the exception of Real. Because video is our primary marketing
advantage, we decided to use the best video streaming technology
available.... Real. However, due to the complexity of the Real installation
we can not even get prospective customers to look at our product.
I would like to remove of all the marketing information and make the link to
the "Free" player easier to find. If that were to happen, we would be
moving in the right direction.
