Because I am saying what everybodies thinking, that with all this, MS looks worse and Sony looks better. Sony doesn't have to be mentioned at all, yet they are the direct beneficiary of all this crap.

In the end, the issue is with the government, not companies like MS complying when they order them to hand over information.

But See the Difference is that sony has not been Directly linked to NSA at ALL (unless you can prove otherwise) so Sony should look better, and here is a thought ... Why doesn't MS Stand up to the Government, i mean if you believe that their being Ordered to to this type of Nonsense with the NSA then why dont they fight back and oh i dont know Fight for the Rights of there customers. They could be looked at as Hero's for not giving into this Ludicrous situation, i mean this is all a nice thought and wish MS would do this but just because there following orders doesnt put them in the clear. I mean Hitler gave those orders to kill the millions of people (drastically Different i know) but that doesnt make it okay that the people were just "following orders".

Do not link the two together. Thats a cheap trick. This is geopolitical in nature...and this is getting rather out of hand.
