Seems Sony *might* be installing root kits on people's computers if they buy CDs that have their own media player on the CD.

Keep that auto-play turned off on your CD drives, everyone!

Well, this news makes me even more happy with my recent switch to the Macintosh platform. The "rootkit" will have no effect on my Powerbook.
