I guess Mac users are used to have auto install everything but on my

hidden.
Quite the opposite actually. Ever installation of new apps on a Mac
running any of the OSX generations requires the manual insertion of a
login password. Raises awareness of just what's going on with the
computer - or course. A bit of a foil to worms.
Besides, these Sony CDs can be played without any interference on a
Mac, anc copied to one's heart's content, to boot.
Incidentally, a class action suit has been entered against Sony/BMG.

And now the first trojan using Sony's clever software. Didn't take long
