Mine could have been an isolated case but I doubt it. I went through a nightmare when my system went down. My first experience with the blue screen of death.

Their tech support indicated the problem was my anti virus program currupting the drivers. After I reformated my hard drive, reloaded windows 95 (thanks to gateway help in guiding me through this process SONY was no help) I reloaded the sony drivers (with no software on my PC but the reloaded WIN 95) it crashed again. SONY indicated it could be a problem with my system (which has a SCSI card). They wanted me to disable the SCSI card and try again. This is now 7:30PM and I started what I thought was a simple install @ 7:50PM.

Needless to say I thought I paid $200 for a product that worked. Not one that would kill a 12 hour day, 2 weeks of data since my previous backup and missing a deadline for a report with a client (and beleive me the client doesn't care about my SONY problem or that he didn't pay me for work I couldn't bill in December, I lost $2,400 in one billing).

It was an expensive product.
