Hehehe.. agreed. Sony as a Firm just don't seem to get the root kit thing... Since the CD incident, I have made a presonal note never to buy ANY sony distrubtued music CD or at the very least, to never put one in my electric computer... Not that I have actually purchased a CD in the last ten years......
