What I find curious is in the RealMedia presentation the word
linux is not mentioned. Some M$ apology is made, "sorry Bill but
your OS is not good enough" and "Mac" is mentioned (although at
the time the video was made there was no Mac port available).
I get the distinct feeling that linux is a dirty word out there
in the real audio world. Stanton, the makers of FS, certainly
are not using the word "linux" to promote this product and if
anything they have gone to some lengths to hide any use of the
word in their promotional material.
