Well, to be fair to Real -- RealPlayer 10 was only announced VERY
recently (last week?) and from what I've seen it's a near-total rewrite
of the program and codecs from the ground up. Being the minority
platform, I'm perfectly willing to accept that there may be a delay
between the PC and Mac rollouts of RP10.
Microsoft took SO LONG to update WiMP for Mac that they actually had to
skip an entire version number -- we went from WiMP 7 to WiMP 9 in one
go!
Given Real's relationship with Apple in the past, I feel sure that a
new version of RealOne will come out in due course.
