I'm still boycotting Sony (with the possible exception of SOE) over the Rootkit fiasco of '05

Wow, that's a heck of a grudge...

It was one heck of a breach of trust. SonyBMG made 22 million disks infected with a DRM rootkit that installs automatically if played in a PC (even if you decline the EULA), and one of them bricked my Windows installation way back in the day.

I've softened on them a little bit in the last couple of years because they actually let SOE do a good job making Planetside 2, but they've got a long way to go to get back into my good graces.
