My brother just installed the PSP software and as long as you have an uptoday version of quicktime will read/transcode/transfer my MOVs. He really likes the software so far.
As for the rootkit thing... Yeah. It's not a rootkit in that its not really being used to elevate anyones privledges ... but it is in that it's a hidden application that even the sys Admins likely cant see or uninstall that runs with very high privledges. And I think you hit the nail on the head with "Bad taste ... but probably not evil" read on it ... Still i think Sony will have to reconsider hiding software from the system owners / administrators to avoid a PR nightmare.
