In Real and MTV in joint bid to be crushed by iTunes

Real Player is STILL a piece of sh*t.

One mistake during installation and your PC is crippled by it. It installs software that you don't want, can't switch off and associates itself to every media-related filetype on your PC by default. Uninstalling it doesn't make those problems go away either.

As media players go, Real Player is the equivalent of installing Norton Antivirus. It's a nightmare to get rid of.

Can I borrow your bargepole please?
