You're absolutely right about it being the marketers influence that's causing the problem. The developers do a version for Linux/Unix systems called the Community Edition, but because it's not a product that they sell, the marketers haven't had any influence over it, and I have to say it's actually quite a good player. It doesn't contain any of the regular rubbish that the other versions of realplayer do.
