"that Microsoft are talking about adding a layer of complete vendor control and lock in to modern PCs, but Sony does one thing and suddenly everyone is up in arms about them."
At least Microsoft did not do those things behind your back. That is why it is so upsetting what Sony did.
"Somehow I doubt the top people at Sony had anything to do with the rootkit debacle. I find it more likely it was someone in Sony BMG being told to protect Sony's interests and they took it a step too far. That, or it was a rogue manager in Sony."
What kind of assumption crap is that?
Even if it is true, does that make things okay?
Even if it is true, Sony should be still hold responsible for lack of management!
