	Conflict of interest is something that Sony specializes in.  They 
have a lot of different units that compete with each other, and this 
causes no end of problems for Sony as a whole.  Witness the fight 
between the Clié line and Sony Ericsson.

	I am convinced that if they supported the Mac better, this would 
require them to make certain architectural changes in their products 
that would also make their PC clients happier.
