I'm not sure if I agree with you on this or not, but I do know that RootKits and RootKit type technology will be a lot harder to implement. Hooking API calls in the kernel, walking descriptor tables and other undocumented features that MS chose not to prevent up until this point, will break a lot of applications and make developing new ones harder.
If the underlying reason is DRM than this is a pretty sucky way to go about it, but if it is for system stability and increased OS security then it makes sense from their pov.
My job just became a lot more difficult because of it, that is for sure.
he is not a genious, he once flooded an entire floor of an apartment complex by hanging his shirt on a sprinkler head and then breaking it some how.
... he once had to be told to remove the hundreds of Starbucks cups from his cubicle.
... he only owns 3 shirts (at least as much as I can tell) Look at the pictures.
... he sometimes went by the name John, at least when some code was checked into the repository. Maybe this was before he legally changed his name.
... he was a strange individual, who worked at odd hours in the night and who eventually came under suspicion by management that "he was up to something."
... he worked at a company in Austin, TX that is no longer in business and that is where I met him.
... he is definitely not boring and I appreciate that.
Is this really worth the price of attending ($595US)and hotel stay (overly priced here in Austin)? Everyone here pretty much knows the score about Open Source, it seems like "preaching to the choir".

Which won't get around the PatchGuard. Or the next CriticalUpdate/ServicePack from MS.
They are really cracking down for security's sake and making all the Security App Vendor's lives a lot harder.
No way I can be, I post to Slashdot. ;)
Get over the typo, you retarded cow.
