It took forever for Sony to even own up to the problem of a rootkit, much less the fiasco that followed it. Sony has had a lot of negative publicity this year. Several years ago, I used to think well of Sony. That is no longer the case. Today, I would not buy ANYTHING with a Sony label on it, music, electronic equipment, even games. The corporation mentality of greed has ruined its reputation for its products and run it straight into the ground. As a result, I fear what I might purchase that comes hidden in any product with the Sony name on it.
