Bugs and quality problems are very different from deliberate
installation of malware.
Sony deliberately and secretly installed rootkits in their CD
customers' computers and still feels justified in doing so.
Until their attitude changes, many folks don't trust their digital
equipment or media and I don't either.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here.
My "It's all Sony's fault" thing?
It is all Sony's fault that I won't trust any Sony digital media or
hardware near any computer I own.
It is also Sony's fault that I don't believe them when they say they
won't set the downrez flag on their content. They think their
customers are idiots.
What the other hardware companies say doesn't matter much. It's the
content producers which will decide whether to set the downrez flag
on their content. Does it make sense to you that the movie producers
would fight so hard to get the downrez flag included in the hardware
and then not use it?
Assuming I trusted Warner Brothers and they promised not to set the
downrez flag, would I buy High Def DVD player just for Warner Brothers
content?
No way. I'll wait for a product which will actually produce a high def
picture from all high def media on all high def monitors or tv's.
