Wired News catches the right angle on the current dispute between Apple and Real, which I mentioned last week.
"RealNetworks badly needs a PR coup to regain credibility with music fans, but its latest "freedom of music choice" campaign is missing the mark, critics say.
"...Instead of a groundswell of support, Real was skewered as a false advocate for open standards and mocked for its history of being unfriendly to its customers. Not surprisingly, a good chunk of the criticism came from Apple users who are legendary for their loyalty to the brand.
"Despite the criticism, Richard Wolpert, chief strategy officer for RealNetworks said 'the feedback we're getting is great.'"
Never one to shirk the tough questions, former onlineblogger Neil McIntosh also gets his tuppence worth in.
