Query: sony are unable to make reliable DVD drives

DON"T BUY THIS JUNK - as soon as microsoft updates any of thier OS - your shiny new SONY drive will be useless.My drive worked ok-ish (never great), that is until I upgraded to XP service pack 2 - then it never worked again (even just reading disks was impossible).Sony seem unable to get this area together. Their drives have sooooo many lists of things which you must do to your system in order to get the drive to work properly - this is no plug and play product!! Plus, if things go wrong, be prepared for lackluster product suppport and HUGE prices to fix things if you are a day or so out of warranty.
