In an e-mail sent to Apple CEO Steve Jobs last week, RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser suggested that the two companies form a "tactical alliance" against Microsoft in the digital music business... [MacMinute]
Glaser also threatens to join forces with Microsoft if Jobs won't deal, which seems weird to me because he's spent years railing against the Beast. Still, I guess bidness is bidness. Personally, I'd like to see Real go the way of the dodo, but I'm afraid that if they went under all the sites that currently offer Real streaming would switch to Windows Media instead of QuickTime, which would suck even more than Real does.
