I've said this before but it is worth repeating. I really don't like the way M$ throws it 500 pound ass around!!!!

I doubt MS will do anything of the sort. Just another pointless rumor.
After gaining such a market position and the negative reputation that comes with it, they have become more and more benign the last few years about competition, recognizing the benefits of playing well with others.
I will bet money they will NOT exclude any technology from their platform or browser that brings any benefit to the user that they have come to expect. That would only hurt business for them, and they've come to recognize that.
Besides, MS has always been the early adopter of web technology since IE4, whereas other browsers lagged behind in accepting codes, scripts, and plug-ins that are now universally accepted. Why would they go backwards and shoot themselves in the foot?

I can't say I'm a big fan of Real Player - it's intrusive and annoying.
And while I enjoy M$ getting a kicking as much as the next person (not saying it's right ) - I'm all for being fair about these things. I don't remember anyone suing Apple for packaging Quicktime in with OSx.
