Why do RTE still insist in using 15 year old Real Player on their site, while adverts use Flash?

Nope. Umm. I wonder if they are still using Novell (Netware) 3.15 to run their teletext service...

They are having ( yet another laugh ) at the Irish mugs forced to pay for the tripe that they broadcast.

RTE should have been sold off circa 2003

Now all its fit for is closing down

Why the hang-up on Flash? What makes you think it is fundamentally better than RealPlayer?

Many of these techheads forget that many users in corporate environments don't have direct control over their PC. So they are unable to install or upgrade their PCs to run these tools.

Noting wrong with Flash per say. It is more lightly to be on a PC than flash in a corporate environment. I have found over the years that that Real Player installs a lot of junk on the PC and tends to be buggy.
