Slashdot heavy skewing? WTF? Yeah against Microsoft. Sony is it's own worst enemy and they have even admitted it. I've bought my last Sony product because they like to criple things. In order to download video's off my new mini dvd camcorder I have to use Sony's software. I would prefer to just plug the USB cable in and use windows explorer or adobe to get it. It's things like this that drive away customers.
