On the one hand, I have to respect their belief in a technically superior product, but on the other hand I despise their uncooperative nature and desire to keep things proprietary and under their control. If they could just figure out how to market their work better... I mean after all--Microsoft has proven that the road to successful monopolies has more to do with marketing than superior technology. I'm torn. I'd rather use a superior technology, but I'd also rather use non-proprietary technology. I don't tend to rush out and buy either Sony or Microsoft products, quite frankly.
