First, I must confess I am a Sony customer … a digital camera customer.  I’m pretty happy with my camera, but I think what Sony did with their "DRM" service (aka rootkit) was pretty lame, and I can’t stop joking about it with just about any Sony product I come across.

That being said … and maybe beyond any point anyone really cares about … the new Sony Professional Solutions magazine for Winter 2006 came out (www.sony.com/mediasoftware) and on page 19 there is a banner that reads "Make Your Own Podcast: New Podcast Bundles Make It Easy".

The solutions are "SoundForge Audio Studio + ACIDplanet ProZone one-year membership" for $90 and the "ACID Music Studio + ACIDplanet ProZone one-year membership" also for $90.

You can learn more via: www.ACIDplanet.com.

My guess is that these products only have spyware and no rootkit. 😉
