If I would have to name one tool which would be more technically sound 
than RealMedia
or WindowsMedia, I would have pick Cisco´s IP/TV. With all it´s 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 RM´s 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.
