Version: RealPlayer 11
"Can't even beat Windows Media Player"
Pros: It plays certain files that other player normally don't support. It looks somewhat nice.
Cons: I didn't like this product because it consumes a lot of resources. I had RealPlayer years ago, and gave it a try again, and nothing has changed much except for the interface. Crashes still occur, strange user interface, high resource usage, and urber annoyance. It even says it there:
"Note: This version of the RealPlayer is recommended for US users only."
Which is also another reason why RealPlayer isn't as useful. Because 98% of the world can't even use it!

Version: RealPlayer 11
"The RealPlayer once was great"
Pros: Design and stated abilities are great
Cons: Yet to prove what it states...predominantly due to installation bugs which have affected each upgrade (bar one) in the last 5 versions. You would think they would make this a priority (as many have made them aware).

"Very buggy bloat ware which has been reported to stopbadware org"
Pros: Realplayer has a buffer, so on live streams you can scroll back, but has become over bloated, see comment's below.
Cons: Don't install this if you don't like problems. Real player has been reported to stopbadware org for several violations, the main problem is you can't un install all the program!!! Visit stopbadware org to see there report.

"- Can't beat Good Ol' Windows Media Player -"
Pros: Works Good...looks good.
Cons: I don't think it measures up to Windows Media Player. I've tried shifting to Real several times; but I come back to WM Player every time.
