I think the Server will only send unicast, but the client will 
receive multicast. It certainly will if you open the SDP file 
directly.

I would dispute both points. I've heard it claimed that Real does RTP 
streaming, but I haven't seen it in a shipping client - the 
RealPlayer wants to use 'rdp'.

  If you can point a RealPlayer client at a QTSS server or vic or rat 
or whatever and get a stream I'd like to know how - I spent a fair 
bit of time asking Real people about this a while ago, and they were 
very closed-mouth about it, probably because their revenue comes from 
selling servers.

As for distribution, no-one seems to have good independent figures on this.

  I suspect that anyone at all interested in Web media will have all 3 
big players, and an MP3 player or two as well. Other people may well 
have had one of the players installed  by the OS or AOL or whatever, 
but they shoudln't be counted.
