That rant on krellan.com is from 8/31/2001 (little under
three years ago). The grc.com article makes points that
are debatable (which the author admits HIM/HERSELF!)

Three people (you included in that number) don't like
RealPlayer and THAT makes it spyware? Don't make me laugh.

Show me a website, a REPUTABLE website, that states that
RealPlayer is spyware and I will gladly uninstall it. Show
me proof instead of emptiness.
