I know it installs a RootKit, but you have to accept the EULA before it
will. That is my understanding.
In any case, I will be boycotting Sony in all forms in the future.

Just a clarification: from everything I read, you have to accept
the Sony EULA on Windows before it will install the rootkit, so it
isn't automatic on Windows. The installer automatically runs, but
nothing is automatically installed unless you click ok. So the
problem isn't the autorun, per se.
But the EULA doesn't disclose that modifications to your OS will be
made...
It installs a friggin RootKit on the system!!!!!! And thats not all,
the RootKit makes all files prefixed with $sys$ invisible to the
average user, and that is already being exploited by Virus writers on
the wild!!!!
Also sony has some CDs installing MACINTOSH DRM MODULES, yes, people
don't know yet if it is a rootkit like above, but it installs two
kernel extensions on OS X... Why the hell, CD-ROMs need to install
Kernel level extensions... beware of sony. I'll neve accept a Sony
EULA until further notice...
