Perhaps my experiences with RealPlayer came a long time ago, when spyware removers would show it. Once learning of it, I will never allow the app on my computer again. One of the things you really have to keep in mind is that of partnerships. Once a spyware company partners with another app, if that app has spyware suddenly the spyware company doesn’t remove it.

I much agree that IE is another undesirable that won’t reside on my computer. However, thankfully there are lots of browsers out there when one turns to look for something that isn’t based on the IE or IE engine.

I have realplayer on my system and i have no problem what so ever with it.

I don’t find its taking over my system nore does it install applications without my authorization.

IE on the other hand take over the whole computer and wmp is such a resource hog its not even funny.

Not about money, nor visitors, for me. It’s more about enjoyment. I enjoy making Web sites, and the content for said Web sites. That’s all that matters to me. Sure, it’d be nice to earn a living off it, but the competition is so large these days, there’s no room for new-comers, really.

Haha. Not frontpage. I write my Web pages mostly in Notepad (PHP) and Dreamweaver (for ease of making tables/forms).

Standards compliant I am not, but just because I don’t close a &ltbr /&gt tag correctly (eg. &ltbr&gt) — shouldn’t mean my Web sites are any less respectable than those who comply with W3’s standards.

Afterall, if it works in everywhere else, why shouldn’t it work in Firefox, right?

… And half of those downloads are Web developers wanting to test out their Web site in FFox because they receive complaints that their site (which works well in every other browser) isn’t running in the piece-of-shit-fox.
