Sony is typically viewed as an electronics company producing quality expensive stuff but for those that can afford it it's usually the consensus in continental europe that the quality is worth the extra cost...( Philips used to be ahead of them but Sony has caught up and even gone ahead of them). Brand strenght is usually more important in Europe as the idea of bringing back a defective item to get it replaced is not liked at all in Europe..

yeah and both are shitty high end electronics company for public use (they do good professional material)... once again even if people behave like they know their stuff and buy goods because it got a 5 star on ZDnet doesn't mean it's actually a good product....
Sony does have a good line of LCD HD TV right now... but LCD is not even the best tech at the best price right now.... it's just for fancy people who don't know shit about TVs....
so you'll have to come back for quality... Sony is certainly not one of them even if people like to believe so... that's like BOSE and BANG&OLUFSEN for speakers.... what a scam!!!
now about MS it is worldwide that this brand is disliked.... mainly for one reason because everybody has a geek friend or friend being a mac lover or linux lover that tell them MS is evil MS is bad.... and that stigma is dating since prior the creation of apple computer... when the open source geek squad hippie movement started and Bill started to make it a business and ultimately reached a monopoly and killed a lot of those guys.... MS his hated because it's doing what any company is doing on other market... but Bill did it in the world of techno hippies and anrcho cyber punks... that's the one and only reason.....
bottom line most people don't even know why they don't like MS its just a tradition and they keep using windows everyday and MS office like good little sheeps
