Well hello. RealNetworks dropped on a bomb on ya today at the D Conference when CEO Rob Glaser announced that the company's new (and free) downloadable player will allow users to save and organize video files in all major formats including Flash, QuickTime, RealMedia and Window Media. That's a pretty swell feature set from a company whose spammy products are typically reviled by the technorati. But Real has been making a comeback in the last few years, and its player is included in Google's Google Pack of free software. Real also has a history of bad blood with Microsoft, so interpret their new marketing position as you see fit.
