For those of you who haven't heard. The next incarnation of RealNetwork’s streaming media software will be open source.
Named Helix, this is thought by some to be RealNetwork's last stand against Microsoft. Seeing as how they were not getting enough market share with their proprietary server, they've made the switch to open source.
Is something happening under my nose here? I don't know if anyone's noticed but there seems to be a resurgence of anti Microsoft business moves being made, not just by the usual evangelists, but by the big players in the field.
First it was IBM, then Apple with their 'switch' campaign and now RealNetworks. Is there some alliance forming under the radar or did everyone just wise up at the same time?
