MS vs. Sony

[Anonymous Bob]

Sony's DRM cloak will be removed by MSAS and the Malicious Software Removal
tool.

FWIW, I'd still like to see Sony release an uninstaller that removes all
traces of their software and doesn't require an ActiveX control.

That's the response I was hoping to see from Microsoft. Like you, I believe
Sony could do better on this one--I'm sure that the lawyers involved in
filings against them are pleased with their actions so far.

It all rather reminds me of a childhood tale:

I too applaud Microsoft's response. Good thing I didn't make any bets about
MSAS removal. How about a few free rootkitless CDs though... lol

Oops! Late to the party. When I hit the update site about 10 hours ago they
didn't come through.
