Wow, soooooooo much better than RealOne, it actually feels like a Mac OS X application now and not some put together crap! :D

OS X has never allowed RealPlayer to be as obnoxious as it was in OS 9... but I still have nightmares about the 9 days! Messed up every system setting and screwed up the opening of unrelated files... like text documents! A company that would even TRY to take over opening of SO many document-types makes me nervous.
But it's been OK for me in X--and useful for iTunes music shopping :D I'm on modem and I don't always want the full-quality (slow) preview... so I go to Amazon and find many of the tracks there on CD, where they can be previewed with Real. Terrible quality, but very quick. Once I know I have the right song, I click Buy in iTunes :)

I downloaded this last night (was surprised to see it on Real's servers just after midnight when I looked just for the heck of it), and I've got to say it's a HUGE improvement over the previous version.
I was never a big Real fan, and the old version was a total mess, but it was the only way for my wife to watch her news streams without using the even-worse WMP.
The new beta looks better, the video seems to be crisper (either better post-processing, or the site I'm using feeds a different video format if your player supports it), playing starts faster, you can now skip around in a streaming clip and it'll start playing almost immediately (instead of either a long delay, or stalling entirely), you can resize or drag the window without the video freezing, and it seems faster in general.
I don't trust whatever Real is doing in the background, but they're still a necessity for some sites, and the free player just went from being a total joke to a relatively nice piece of software, and this is just the beta.
(Now if they'd just drop the silly overdone Windows-style interface for something a bit more Mac-standard...)
