Well, fuck ... I'm never buying a Sony again.

If you own a Sony and want a quick fix to this bullshit ... install Linux, works for me :)

I own 2 Sony computers and manage 4. Bah, I don't care, I'm gonna switch all of em to Linux anyway. Fuck sony and M$ and any company who kisses Bill's @$$ ... that a whole lot of em

I'm still buying the PS3 though, dammit ... it seems inevitable that I have to somehow support the companies I hate. I can either:

1) Change all PCs to Linux and buy Sony PS3
2) Keep Window$ for games
3) Change all PCs to Linux and use wine

But doesn't buying games support M$ indirectly ? In most cases it does, I know of very few people that use Linux for gaming.

No.

EDIT: Oh, and if Mark Russinovich has trouble with it, it's really hard.  He rules.

I agree he's awesome ... then there is only 1 option -> Linux or BSD

Sony does a lot more shit, like bundles all the software including the Window$ CD into a single heavily encrypted DVD, not that I care anymore, but that's just another sign of bullshit.

Oh, and one of the posts on Mark's site says:

"                  In Australia, this software contravenes the Cybercrime Act, and does it with intent"

... well now you know Sony is overflowing with bullshit !

"So its just $3 to $14 Trillion in potential fines.
Sony has total corporate value (Market Cap) of $36,358,000,000."

think it will be settled, anyone?  no company wants to be the next sony/bmg
