Let's see how many people stop buying Sony products or playing their Sony PlayStation games because of this. I expect the percentage will be tiny[1]. If so, Sony and other customers will still have little direct incentive to really improve things. Customers vote with their wallets, and that vote usually says, "You can totally screw me over when it comes to security, and I'll keep throwing money at you anyway!" -- Ben [1] I reserve the right to be wrong. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
