If I would have to name one tool which would be more technically sound
than RealMedia
or WindowsMedia, I would have pick Ciscoīs IP/TV. With all itīs issues,
at least
the it behaves well in varying network conditions, which cannot be said
from
either WM or RM.
However, both RM and WM behave well in a robust, close-to-zero packet loss
environment when the horribly broken RMīs retransmission algorithm nor
the highly inefficient fragment-spitting of WM do not kill your media
experience.
Unfortunately in this, as in so many other cases, technical competency
has nothing
to do with product success.
