Have already setup RealPlayer G2 and The G2 for linux player works great under FreeBSD, BTW. I'm using it now. Definitely an improvement, especially for video.

We have plenty of Windows boxes at Walnut Creek CDROM and except for the occasional demo from Sweden, I have yet to see any good apps for it that make me want to switch. Office 98?
