Microsoft Anti-spyware to remove Sony Rootkit
I’m not that consistent with comments on current events in computing but this one tickled me a bit.
I just read a post over over at Dvorak Uncensored that links to a BBC News Article which t alks about how Microsoft has labeled Sony’s CD DRM Root-kit as spyware. Hooray for Microsoft. Or, maybe not.
Sony was unable to provide a means to safely remove the software themselves. Sony should be grateful to Micrsosoft for bailing them out like this. The situation could have gotten a lot worse! Perhaps Microsoft should have let the situation boil over a bit more before acting.
