If you use Windows, please read that shortened version (there is a link to the full report) about how Sony Enhanced CDs can install a huge vulnerability onto your Windows PC

I'm supportive of my brothers and sisters on Windows. I even have a gaming PC. I just won't fix their stuff :)

I just spent 2 days restoring my g5 from scratch. Of course, I am a Apple developer and run all sorts of beta stuff on my systems, so it is expected hehe. Still not fun to reformat and restore 140gb from backup and then reinstall all of your apps. However, if I had to do it on Windows... LOL.

However, this is a very serious issue with what Sony is doing to people's computers. In fact, they could do this for the Mac just as easily. As soon as you click ok and enter your admin password, they can install anything they like. So it behooves even us Mac users to let Sony know this is completely unacceptable.

Important enough that it should have been left int he lounge where most casual people could see it, too :)

I second that.
