RealNetwork faults Microsoft for its poor financial results

SeattlePI | at | by Mike

In a federal filing yesterday, RealNetworks Inc. blamed archrival Microsoft Corp. for its poor financial performance over the past three years, enlarging on claims made in its recently filed lawsuit against the software company.

In its annual report, or 10K statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the 10-year- old Seattle media company blamed the decline of its own software business on Microsoft's, including Windows Media Player, along with free software for creating and streaming audio and video files over the Internet, as part of the Windows operating systems.
