This is true. Sony's rootkits, for example, have hurt them more than they know. People now hate Sony with a passion. They hate Microsoft, too... but these days a lot of that hate for Microsoft is going the way of how they are seen to be bowing to movie studio DRM. Vista is little more than a slower XP rewrite to keep them from being sued by the likes of Sony.

That's how many people view it, and that's why Sony is hated so much.
