Wow... MS was one of the most evil companies for a while in snuffing out Netscape - pressing company powers so badly that they get hit by antitrust.... and people forget. MS fights it so long in court that they last until the Bush admin, which wimps out on pursuing it (some states keep pursuing it).... and people forget.
Sony puts a rootkit on, later removes it (granted, not of their own immediate volition)... and people threaten lifetime bans for something arguably of less weight than the things MS did.
I'm not saying those people who boycott Sony are wrong, but those who act like MS hasn't been the more "evil" company need to take a longer look.
