[expert] RealProducer Plus Version 8
RealProducer Plus Version 8 is now available from Real Networks. However, there are a few things I find disturbing. I called them to find out what happened to the GUI version (that came with V6.0), they told me that there is no plan for one. It is their belief that "linux-people prefer using command-lines". This is after talking to several people at Real that had little or no idea what Linux was. It's unfortunate that Real continues to operate in the clouds with the assumption that linux is still some geek's hobby. Plus, with Microsoft breathing down their neck, it's a bad time for such arrogance and ignorance. Seve

RE: [expert] RealProducer Plus Version 8
this may give the hand to open source frontend My thoughts exactly. An open source frontend would probably be faster, smaller, and more "Linux-user Friendly" than some port of a Windows GUI anyway.

Sigh... We really should pity those poor folks; They don't have a clue. Real Linux people *prefer* software that works in a *real* world. We don't care who makes it, but it would be nice if the maker knew something about the users.
