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.
