No.

(:-)
I think we all owe Sony a debt of gratitude... for getting the general public up to speed on what rootkits are, and why they're bad. I realize that this is the "uninvited tiger team" argument that crackers (not hackers :-) make, which is rebutted by most of the community whose chapeaux are blanc, but you know what? It works.
(And my thanks to Apple's ad agency...)
