From what I've read, it appears that the CDs drop their code through MS Media Player, not through the autorun. I could be wrong, though, but I'm not certain that the "take no action" security policy setting is enough to block it.
Anyways, the DRM software even <a href="http://www.sysinternals.com/blog/2005/11/more-on-sony-dangerous-decloaking.html">contacts Sony servers to check for updates</a> and removal looks like a total bitch according to the finder.
You have to love something that <a href="http://www.internetnews.com/security/article.php/3561161">kills your CD player</a>. How nice of Sony, but how equally kind of Windows to have a security hole that allows software to create unlocatable files, registry keys, and invisible services.

I'm sticking with iTunes and my Mac.
