| From what I understand, Rootkits effect Windows machines. They most recently were used by Sony as a part of one of their attempts to copy-protect CD's. The attempt resulted in a few lawsuits, and Sony has since stopped using Rootkit technology - for the time being. |

From the article:
Isn't it pathetic when the government has to spend $2.5 million dollars to try and secure an operating system's kernel - an operating system the vendor claims is secure? |
