This is wrong on so many levels. To address one: I've found it so unbelievably hard to keep a copy of Windows doing what I _want_ it to and still making sure the programs running aren't resource hogs; that is, keeping start up time and RAM usage low is tough (nothing is worse than listening to a hard drive grind away on your page file).
The worst pieces of software you will ever see are bundled with cheap peripherals. People will get a wireless keyboard, install the software, and that memory hog tray icon remains long after the keyboard is gone. How can you explain to someone that a _music_ cd could harm their computer? Just addressing one issue: if they (Sony) are going to invade, at least they could plant something worth having. No such luck, of course. More maintenance woes for Windows users.
