All kidding aside, no one would expect you to stick with that
You can criticize me all you like, but while others around here would flip-flop with the wind based on the positive/negative news and/or content dealings of the month - going one side, then the other, then back to the first side, etc, I stuck with the same side and only that side for 1.5 years even while it was losing (sometimes badly) for the majority of that time.

I didn't even blink an eye at dual format until HD DVD was officially dead and buried. Not sure you can say that about many others here except maybe chlngr1970.

You now will openly embrace sony drm though
No I won't. There is no other choice so I will take the steps to deal with it. I already talked to MS a bit about proper Windows Vista security settings to avoid a rootkit-like scenario with BD+.

The key is not to give PowerDVD adminisitrative privleges when playing a BD+ title EVER if it asks for them. While that won't avoid some basic anti-piracy filesystem changes it will avoid the Sony rootkit (which I confirmed with AVSFORUM insiders is possible based on BD+'s specs if you DO allow PowerDVD to get administrative privleges).
